#qoto — Public Fediverse posts

Bibliolater has moved from #QOTO to a new home.

#Mastodon #SocialMedia #VivaldiSocial

If I try to migrate my account from #QOTO what is the likelihood it will be successful? Have you recently tried this and has it worked for you?

If you leave a comment on any toot, please accept my apologies as #QOTO is not providing notifications. I have to enter each toot to see if a comment has been left and then reply, at times I may miss your comment.

@freemo I get 500 Internal Server Error every time when i try to see my home feed on #qoto since today.

@freemo my Mastadon exports from #qoto don't finish. I've waited days so far.

Everything OK?

@ex @silverpill #qoto is a clusterfuck and its random issues are impossible to understand from the user perspective, that's my main reason moving to self-hosting mitra.

@freemo , any plan for`webp` support on #qoto ? always have to do a `magick $1.webp $1.png` before uploading a screenshot :) or it could convert before/after upload ^^ that would also be great!

@SecondJon I guess #qoto admin have difficulty finding someone to fix instance and just waits for person who can fix it. I suggest @freemo to just start qoto all over again from clean slate from #fedibird code base or old qoto on sub domain like like fedibird did on nightly.fedibird.com #mastodon

@ex @wonderfox @rf Педерация твой предыдущий камент ко мне припедерировала, но нотификашку не присрала, а этот даже не припедерировала, я увидел его только в вебне fluffyfox.space, пиздос (по прямой ссылке вбитой в поиск припедерировала). Потом ещё вебня ебала мозги фирменным #qoto 'вским "Rate limited Please retry after 04:55".

За десятилетия прыщинга у меня вроде ни разу не случалось такого чтобы апдейт прям ломал систему. Худшее что было - забагованная mesa, из-за которой иксы (точнее, драйвер modesetting) не работали, откатил. Ну и в ядре баги по мелочам встречались, сейчас уже и не припомню их. Но я сижу на нестабильной ветке Gentoo, если бы на стабильной сидел, проблем было бы меньше.

Конкретно та беда с китайцем и xz это не причина не обновляться, это причина сидеть на более проверяемой-выдержанной версии дистрибутива, с оперативными security апдейтами которые ты оперативно накатываешь чтобы не сидеть голой дырявой жопой в интернет.

@johan @rf @rur @Russia @russian_mastodon Я уже перестал чёт понимать, у меня регулярно куда-то не педерируются каменты, и хрен знает как выяснить почему, грешу на гнилой старый mastodon #qoto но видимо не только на нём такое. Вот педеративный e-mail хотя бы баунсы шлёт когда не может доставить письмо!

@johan @ex @darkcat09 Меня уже доебало что #qoto хаотично меня банит на пять минут за превышение rate limit просто потому что я вебню открыл или поскроллил посты.

Hi,
Page not loading.
I created an issue :

#qoto
@freemo

#qoto
sometimes I get a 'edited a post' notification from things I've reposted, and it's always the same post, but there are no modifications...
This is frustrating, and drives me to un-repost it.
Does it happen to you too with some posts?
i.e. with [this one](https://hellions.cloud/@dannotdaniel/114701469831626895)

FYI, QOTO will be going down in about an hour (2pm EST) for about 30 minutes for an update.

#QOTO

Why doesn't #qoto allow the #upload of #webp images?

#question

#QOTO: profile page not loading, just a string of 500 error messages in its place. Anyone else having the same problem?

#QOTO: are you getting multiple 500 error messages when trying to boost or toot or follow accounts?

Has the automatic toot deletion feature been activated on #QOTO?

cc: @freemo

#QOTO users: are you receiving notifications when a toot you have boosted in the past has been edited? Also, are the toots in your timeline being displayed in a chronological order or being repeated multiple times?

#QOTO: since the new update, I have noticed there is a new auto-delete feature. Are there any other features that I may have missed?

#qoto #mastodon server

Does this happen to anyone else?
It has happened for months now to me...

Is there is a way to follow hashtags without having to go to the preference page and manually inputting them?

#Question #QOTO #AskFedi #AskMastodon #Hashtags #Mastodon

#QOTO: I have followed a number of accounts recently. Some of them are through flipboard and others are private accounts. The toots from the flipboard account such as Flipboard UK (see image) are showing in my home timeline but still have the 'egg timer' sign and I am being asked if I want to cancel follow request. The other set of accounts (private) just have the cancel request with the "egg timer" and none of their toots appear in my home timeline. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to resolve this situation?

🔴 QOTO And Markdown

Does #Markdown #text display on #QOTO since the recent upgrade?

I just muted and then blocked this dude @jbwharris because it's the only thing I see when scrolling down, and it didn't disappear.
Is #qoto being #atacked ?

Ok everyone we just doubled up the nodes to machines twice as big as well... I hope that should be the last of it to get rid of the sluggishness... Anyone still seeing any slowness on #QOTO?

Minor Update: So yesterday we had to tweak some resources server side, despite fixing the 503 with more resources things were still a bit sluggish. We boosted a few more resources (expanded the cluster itself) and now the system seems quite responsive as well.

Please let @freemo know if you expiernce sluggish behavior or errors.

Only thing left to fix that is broken is some UI issues with links. Some of that will actually expose features that are technically working like editing in place and translation capabilities. So as long as nothing else is broken that is more pressing we should have that fixed up in short order and then we can start working on the next version again and get out of cleanup mode.

@lnxw37b2 @sun I think this is off the mark when it comes to how things are in the 2020s. It ain’t the 1970s anymore. I did some old analysis of some stats when I was on like #Gab or #QOTO, comparing how many times people of certain ethnic groups get killed by police in comparison to how many people they end up arresting, and using that data I found that white people were actually killed by cops 1% more than black people.

A communications disruption could mean only one thing: software update. #att #qoto #PhantomMenace

@[email protected] #QOTO is using their own fork of #Mastodon v3, and they do seem to backport the latest security fixes.

Some people just want to stay with Mastodon v3 just like how there are people who want to stay with #Misskey v10 (which has a still-supported and maintained fork called #Meisskey) ​:seija_coffee:​

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]

@freemo Haha yeah…I used to be wilder back when I was on #Gab and even #QOTO. I was in my #MiloYiannopoulos back then lol

@realcaseyrollins These seem to be the difference between them (I will describe them all in relation to #Mastodon):

#QOTO: Just #Mastodon but with quote posts, is currently aligned with #Mastodon 3.2.1

#Smalltown: Allows admins to enable or disable DMs, private posts, private accounts, bookmarks, links, and the configuration of custom icons and favicons. Adds a “post queue”, which forces admins to approve posts before they are published, the “post digest”, an admin-curated selection of posts that are sent to users once each day, “featured topics”, which is essentially a configurable bundling of hashtags, and the ability to restore deleted posts. All #Mastodon branding has also been removed.

#Ecko: Unclear, although the about page of the flagship instance claims that it is “unblocking”, so perhaps blocking and muting is disabled.

#Hometown: Local-only posting, in-line full blog post support, exclusive lists (you can add users to lists without their posts being in the home timeline), themes, and custom max post limits.

#GlitchSoc: A lot (read the differences here: https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/)

#Koyuspace: Everything from #GlitchSoc, plus #Tenor support, custom theming and logos, and native #Jitsi integrations.

#GlitchCafe (AKA #PluralCafe): Everything from #GlitchSoc, other changes are unclear.

#Fedibird: Subscriptions that add content from hashtags and unfollowed users into the home feed, emoji reactions, quote posts, groups (in beta), and ephemeral posts.

@gordoooo_z @PhenomX6 @futurebird @ink8 Whatever Eugen decides at this point it’s irrelevant. He’s pretty much lost his grip over holding the Fediverse brand as secondary to the notion of a fantasy “mastodon network” when he gave that Time Magazine interview two months ago in which the word “Fediverse” appeared not one single time - that caused enormous, untold damages including confusion that remains in the news media and disenfranchisement of large swaths of developers and users alike on not just other platforms, but mastodon instances themselves.

There’s really no such thing as toots anymore, Eugen himself refers to “Posts” and “Quote Posts”, and the submit button in mastodon now says “publish”. The reason #Misskey calls them “notes” is because that’s what they are actually called in #ActivityPub - there are also other types, that other platforms use as well, including “article”, although, instances like #qoto have set the character count for notes at 65535 🙂

It’s been covered in this thread already that Quote Posts are simply beyond the control of mastodon devs, Eugen’s edicts, or local mastodon users or admins, because most other platforms support it and there isn’t anything #mastopub can do about it. In Misskey, users can disallow it, but that only affects other local users, so it’s s moot point (except for silo instances).

There are very few Fediverse platforms that aren’t taking advantage of most things that are possible, for example, #Soapbox now has federated events, and introduced custom emoji reactions like Misskey has, and live chat - Misskey’s traditionally led the way with these federating features with #Calckey going even further.

Some platforms however, intentionally incorporate a leaner set of features; #Smithereen is one example, it doesn’t even sccomodate boosts, which harkens back to #Myspace, #VKontakte (aka, “VK” - not sure I spelled that right), and very early #Faceplant days. #Epicyon has anti-silo capabilities baked in.

#Mitra has #Substack style subscriptions at it’s core. Anyone can subscribe remotely from any Fediverse server instance where the user can receive DMs - and in congruence with privacy concerns that are typically expected for Fediverse implementations, it’s based on #Monero (XMR).

Most platforms also support #Markdown, with Cakckey being perhaps supporting the greatest superset IIRC, including #LaTEX, and #Friendica, being much older than msstodon, has continued to evolve over the past decade and still has support for #BBCode too, and direct links for uploading images for those who prefer to.

I didn’t see any mention of Markdown support when I bothered to look at the mastopub roadmap, yet even on that platform, Quote Posts are all throughout the stream and people boost and reply to them as the time - and, as mentioned earlier, anyone can create a post, simply pasting the link from someone else’s post, and then boost that… Voila! Local #Quote_Post.

mastodon was successful in its arrogance of leveraging some pretty graphics and welcoming verbiage into a brand that Eugen weaponized against virtually all other Fediverse platforms, and now, with all of the fine forks like #Hometown and several newcomers, we’ll soon be seeing hardforking as a result of that hostility.

But not just forks, funding and ambitious development as evidenced by existing and emerging platforms like #Cloudflare’s #Wildebeest, Tumbler, and the very unique, #Django based Takahē Fediverse server that I wrote about here:

https://tallship.writeas.com/takahe-a-new-fediverse-paradigm

Average people are already migrating in larger numbers everyday away from the archaic mastodonian resource hog to other, more capable and promising (and friendlier) platforms elsewhere in the Fediverse that have integrated and fully support #masto_migration, and even ones that don’t (yet) haver that feature.

Unlike other dinosaurs and the eponymous mammal for which Eugen chose the namesake of his #TootSuite product, we shouldn’t expect extinction for his platform, but the apathy and indifference levels are rising, as is the enmity in many sectors of the community for what others perceive as a betrayal (or sellout), and that kind of self-inflicted damage is often difficult to mitigate, with waves of disenchantment reverberating get into the future… Just look at what happened to #SourceForge - it still technically exists, but never recovered after the community betrayal it committed years ago.

And finally, there’s a irony so obvious that’s it’s not even plausible to deny… Eugen subverted the very rudimentary principal that the Fediverse network is ideologically predicated upon - #DeSoc… There’s no question that his goals shifted to that if building a silo for himself, at least to some great degree. Very sad.

An interesting thing about condescending others, you find yourself alone and isolated in an otherwise vibrant, busy world.

@Variety

Ich habe bisher eine Menge von Unterstellungen und von Sympathie für #Kontaktschuld gesehen (“Dort darf man Nazi-Content lesen”).

Was ich bisher nicht gesehen habe: Problematischen Content, der von #qoto.org ausgeht, wegen dessen man qoto.org zensieren müsste.

Und ja das Blocken der Tröts von dort und das Verhindern der dortigen Sichtbarkeit unserer Tröts hier betrachte ich als #Zensur. (Ich bin dort 3 Wissenschaftlern, darunter Mitglieder der COVID-Taskforce, gefolgt.)

@fairsocialnet

J’aime bien #tooting.ch pour sa timeline locale, qui m’est proche par la géographie.

Mais je ne crois pas trop au principe de la #culpabilité par contact qui est souvent appliqué par la gauche.

Et c’est cela qui me semble être, en fin de compte, le problème principal de certaines #instance⁠s avec #qoto.org : Non pas ce qui est publié sur qoto.org, mais ce qui peut être lu sur qoto.org.

Nice question @Squirrel ..
The web experience is almost #flawless for me, even better than with Tusky!
Just, I find a bit #irritating when I open the #emoji tab and also the keyboard opens.. both occupy half screen and overlap each other.. So have to close the keyboard and then choose an emoji, but it also hang everything a bit..
For the rest, I would highly suggest it! (I am in the #qoto instance, which is a modded one, might be different with normal #instances)

Hello everyone!

I'm a recent arrival, still figuring things out, but #QOTO seems delightful so far!

About me:
* Electrical engineer (chiphead) by training.
* Software architect/dev-herder (of late) by vocation.
* Computational quantum chemist by avocation.
* Tool-builder by compulsion.

Designed chips, joined/lead a few startups, VC wannabe for awhile. Then the wavefunction collapsed.

Technophile.
Autodidact.

Unfortunately the SVG is 12MB – too big to be uploaded to #GCCProject. Both it and US/UK English versions are available at the #qoto website above

We are happy to announce a new QOTO service, our brand new matrix server!

Registration is open to everyone.

To either login or register a new account use any compatible Matrix/Riot client (like https://app.element.io/ ). When doing so you will have to set the home server to “matrix.qoto.org” (it is usually set to matrix.org). However keep in mind once logged in your username will be @user:qoto.org, as the matrix.* prefix is dropped. Similarly any rooms you create will be #room:qoto.org.

The best part is this service is decentralized and federated so you can join any matrix room on any other server. Even cooler you can join rooms on servers that arent federated at all like IRC or gitter.im. So you really can connect to almost any chat server out there all from one identity and server.

NOTE: We will also be bringing up a client, likely the same client run at app.element.io, for the added security. It wont change anything and you can switch clients once we have that up if you want. You can also download the client and use it as a desktop app.

Now that the #QOTO Discourse server is fully working, including the math rendering, I can start adding some content to it.

For my first post I wanted to share a tutorial I wrote on how to do frequency-domain nodal analysis on electronic circuits.

Here is the link:
