@freemo SEM image of Leptospirillum ferrooxidans bacterium at 13000x magnification .I took this couple of months ago. They were on Pyrite mineral surface. :rick:

@design_RG It happens a lot actually. Often we see primary waves of people moving from fb or twitter to mastodon as a whole Then usually a few days later QOTO sees a smaller wave of people moving from their first instance to us (once they know what we are about).
I usually take it as a sign that #QOTO is making the right sort f decisions.
I had to specifically add it, so that doesnt appear to be so. Though you could paste it as a unicodecharacter instead I think, but thats not really an emoji.
When I uploaded it i did a quick check on the emoji federation and it appears #QOTO was the first to add the indian flag emoji, but other servers may have copied it since then? I could be wrong though, but I didnt see it when I went to add it anyway.
@QOTO is a read-only announcment bot. Tagging him doesnt make much sense. We do use the #QOTO hashtag though and you used it properly in the original pst.
I tend to agree, particularly because it means a higher moderator to user ratio so us mods can actually consider the human aspect behind our decisions.
Also it means smaller servers like #QOTO will respond much quicker to trolls and spam accounts. That means we have a relatively clean local timeline with almost no ads and very little drama.
M.S and even many other mastodon incidents tend to have this pattern of behavior. They tend to pick a secret political affiliation then ban everyone who seems to be on the other side
Fear of M.S abusing moderation, as they do, is exactly why I started #QOTO so we will never do that here so long as you treat liberals with full respect and dont constantly belittle or attack others then you will be fine, even protected here.
We want people on QOTO to be free, without fear, to post their opinions and ideas. For that to happen we have to ensure we dont go around censoring people for opinions.
Be kind to others and you will always be welcome here regardless of your views.
#QOTO for today,
What are all the local calamities (preferably environmental) you are facing currently? Do you suspect #GlobalWarming as a reason behind it? (or) some other factor?
Is there anything you or your local authority can do to solve any immediate/ long-term crisis?
What a huge spike at #QOTO. 723 new users in less than a week.
All the new STEM posts I'm seeing popping up are amazing and its also great to meet so many new people.
As many of you know they are largely from India :india: and I for one amd enjoying all the new culture and perspectives they are bringing.
Its great being a part of this community and seeing it grow.

Really liking #QOTO and #Mastodon very much so far!
Huge shoutouts to @freemo and @Surasanji for maintaining this instance! π
Just a reminder, I am happy to add any emoji to #QOTO requested by any of our users. Just send me the emoji you'd like added and I'll add it and you can start using it. That also includes personal emojis (for example an emoji of your own face if you wish to be vain) :)
I myself added an emoji of my monogram (A stylization of my initials) :jpf:
After waking up I decided to greet and answer questions from all the new #QOTO users we got over night last night. Took me an hour just to say Hi to everyone!
Can't wait to see all the new discussions in or future!
Seems we have over 400 new users on #QOTO from the Indian Twitter Exodus in the last 24 hours, nearly 600 this week!
For everyone I havent gotten the chance to welcome yet, Hi, I have no doubt our new Indian :india: friends will enrich our community in new ways that I for one am eagerly looking forward to.
Current **active** user count on #QOTO is at a all time high of 714 users.
I was reflecting on this as a Data Scientist. Our all-time user count is 3,190. From my experience most active instances that dont delete inactive accounts peak at around 10% active users if their older than a year. So at a 22% active rate for QOTO that suggests we have a very high retention rate, in other words, more people who come to QOTO stick around and remain active.
Thats something I feel proud of as the Founder and one of the moderators here, the fact that most of our users are happy enough to want to stick around.
The Universe May Be Round and That would be a bad news for Physicists #Physics #AstroPhysics #QOTO
Our universe is Round? / Flat?
What do you think ?

@abbenm Interestingly even though QOTO is STEM specific it seems we are getting a pretty big surge from the indian community lately too. I suspect this is because india is such a big center for tech and naturally twitter users will be a good portion of tech users.
So yea #QOTO is definitely enjoying the recent surge.
Congratulations to #QOTO! We recently passed the 3,000 user count on the server and still seeing about 100 new users a day!
Welcome to all the new users, I look forward to getting to know all of you.

@Nirav Is that the #QOTO interface? Looks a lot like ours, but I had customized it. I wonder if they pulled in my changes upstream...
