I'm giving another server (mstdn.social) a try at the moment, due to qoto being blocked by some of my friend's servers. So far there are some things I like better there (it is not blocked by some of the more safe-space-oriented servers, it is a bit prettier and has some good discovery enablement) and some I don't (no markdown options, a much smaller character limit, generic community). I'm undecided at the moment, but I might migrate in the near future.
@johnnylogic I didn't realize anyone blocked qoto. This place is pretty mild, surprising that it would be blocked. I guess speech focused heavily on STEM is scary lol
