@Ytrezar Well i think its because they dont pay attention. We are in the #1 spot on the server list duue to our growth % right now and i think most people just pick the first instace and dont read up on it. Moreover if they are posting in another language they probably ignore the bulk of the feed

@design_RG

The #3 spot has changed a few times today actually. We started at #4 and quickly moved to #1, I think it runs a rolling average we just needed to accumulate.

QOTO has always had really good frowth even before we were on the list.

@Rovine @ragnar

@requrious Probably because

1) we artent freeze peach

2) we have explicit rules that protect against harassment including sexism and racism

3) We have never had an outstanding issue that was reported that contradicts one of the above points that wasnt resolved.

4) our #1 rule is to treat people with compassion and respect.

@shibaprasad I wouldn't say im a master at python, but I use it and I'm a good programmer in general...

As for how I learn it.. well there are two parts to learn for programming to me:

1) The theory - this part is completely disconnected from a language, you can, and often should, do this in psuedocode when working with it in its pure form

2) The language / platform technicals - This is stuff like syntax, and what posix means or how some bytecode is defined or whatever. This is the concrete part

They are both equally as vital, #1 is usually neglected among many programmers in my opinion and it really hurts their abilities when this is the case.

As for how I learned, well #1 was mostly from books and then later peer-reviewed studies coupled with any internet resources I could find (a lot of IRC chat rooms too).

#2 is usually from example code snippets and API documentation and, depending ont he quality of those two, perhaps a lot of trial and error. But this half is less using books, for me, and more just digging in and coding and just reading the technical documentation as you do.

@Surasanji We also got enough users to be listed as the #1 largest instance on joinmastodon.org if you use the default sorting settings.. Which means we are getting most users who want a big instance and likes STEM (which is most indians on twitter I guess :) )

@jasper I dunno, if i worry about white washing history Obama's used of murder without due process on american citizens and the democrats painting him as a "good guy" is a far bigger offense to me if thats our priority.

I'd take offense if she might have white washed over a DECISION he made as president (just as I do when they do that in the above case with obama). But I have no issue at all with painting him as a decent person who had hard decisions to make and simply made decisions I disagree with.

She is tackling the #1 overwhelming problem in america right now.. the "I'm offended by your difference of opinion" crowd which has effectively degraded america to a shit show on both sides.

So i am more than happy to see her combating the top issue even if that means a little collateral damage to the fact that people dont recognize his mistakes as readily as I'd like.

@feld

At no point did I tell you how much value you should put into the poll.

But you have two choices as someone who opposes trump

1) convince ourselves to reject anything that sounds like it could remotely be construed as something positive about trump, and as a result of that group denial not be informed enough to help make a educated and effective plan to dethrone him.. or...

2) recognize the reality, that a lot, even perhaps a majority (or damn close), of people do support him and try to fight against that issue head on, well educated, and possibly even be effective at combating it.

Choice is yours. But all I saw last election and since from the democrats is #1 with very little of #2. so I fled the country with little to no hope of the democrats pulling it together in time.

I do hope you and others prove me wrong though and get trump out of office and maybe even get a half-decent candidate through the primaries... I dont have high hopes though given the facts.

@auramun yes i understand that, but you also understand that i regularly post anti-right stuff too?

y stance has always been the same 1) the extremist left is a huge problem 2) the extremist right is a huge problem

Now i understand that you yourself are a leftist and might be offended by claim #1. You are welcome to be that of course. But do not assume just because I hate the left that I therefore love the right. I hate both equally.

I voted for obama in the election and i voted for bernie in the primaries. I voted third party in hillary vs trump. I have never once voted republican.

At best you can say i am a left-leaning centrist, which is somewhat fair. But that does not mean I am pro-right.

@pschwede Here is experiment confirming conclusively points #1 and #2 https://www.nature.com/articles/329408a0

@FreePietje

I see a very different sequence of things that mde it a big deal. #1 happens every year, last year canada was covered in smoke fromt he siberian fires as well. Even philly smelled the smoke.

#2 is closer to true but its not just the politicians.

Here is how it really went down..

1) notre dame burned and news media made a fortune off the coverage. Then everyone complained that everyone was watching Notre Dame burn and no one cared about the forests that were burning (partly because burning forests arent really a big eco issue right now)

2) for some months memes circulated reiterating the idea of notre dame and the forests burning.

3) media, ever looking to make money and draw attention to nonsense saw this trend. So now that its dry season again they focused their coverage ont he forest fires just as everyone cried over, even though it was a non issue they did what they did best and made it sound like the world was ending all to get people hyped and watching more news.. it worked.

Meanwhile the REAL global climate issues continue to be ignored...

@stevenroose

@p
It didnt do me any harm so I'm not upset.

My main concern was two fold

1) People may now see I have obviously fake followers and assume my 4.4K follow count is fake. Aside from these new users 4K of them are real. So it hurts me more than helps in terms of impression it gives people.

2) Due to #1 people might think i intentionally created the fake users and thus it may seem as though I am dishonest.

Thing is can the admin even reverse this? If not I may be forced to block the domain just to ensure those followers get dropped as I'm not sure if there is another way.
