A gentle note to our fellow QOTO users.
Folks, good morning, hope you all are well. A personal request of mine.
Please consider trying to reduce the amount of General posting, as we have so many short messages with momentary thoughts that more serious posts are getting buried.
A couple of things to suggest, which I think could help:
1. If you post a topic, and follow up with a reply to it soon, talking to yourself with an update, etc.
You can greatly help reduce clutter in the Local timeline (and all the federated ones) if you set the privacy level of the Second and further messages as 'Unlisted'.
They WILL go out, and anyone interested in the first post will see the following replies. These replies will NOT appear in the Local, Home (for your Followers) or Federated feeds.
Keeping it simple - - First post, you can use the Globe icon, Public setting.
Replies to follow - - Use Unlisted, the one with the Open Padlock icon. See illustration below.

@design_RG het @arteteco and @mngrif and @Surasanji check out this whole thread . Rob is likedly go sin nomination soon and we will be having a vote on if we want to accept him in as a mod or not. This post here seems to express some of his views that are relevant and I think it is useful if you guys read it over so you can get a sense of where he wants to take us.
In many ways its the perfect thread for a nominee.

Thanks Dr Freeman, I am happy to have expressed in a lot of detail what goes in my mind in this particular moment.
I think we are living a historic moment in the internet - the abuse and omnipotence of the large tech companies are finally clear enough that people are reacting, in different ways.
I feel we are in a new project all together, and like the way this is turning out to be. Have been putting full time work hours daily into my fediverse reading, writing, learning. Trying new things and expanding.
Went to bed pretty late last night, since I had joined a new instance and can't stand not to have a decent avatar and profile background; even if editing the bio was left for later.
I enjoy Qoto, and do not intend to push or take the system in a certain way. The way staff is open and dialoguing, that would be possible, but only if consensus was built, in which case the proposal would have merit.
Hope we can have a dialogue on any points you are interested in.
