qoto.org has been re-limited for now on urbanists.social because of the bullshit they're pulling with the United Federation of Instances. Basically they're working with known bad actors to try to pressure instances that have domain blocked them into undoing that. That's not okay. I have reason to believe that will lead to an increase of hateful / fascist users on their server, so they have been limited for the time being.

  QOTO Mastodon
  
  from Mastodon hosted on qoto.org
  
  Welcome to the QOTO instance QOTO: Question Others, Teach Others A Mastodon instance for scholars in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and all yearning to learn. A free speech space. No censorship here. We do not silence or block any instances. Unique Features Inline math Latex support - Use \ ( and \ ) for inline LaTeX, and \ [ and \ ] for display mode. 65,535 character limit for toots (usually 500) 65,535 character limit for profile bio (usually 160) Full text searches - usually you can only search hashtags and usernames Halcyon / Twitter clone front-end - Want the interface to look exactly like the Twitter interface? After you signed up just go here to login: https://halcyon.qoto.org. PeerTube - We host our own PeerTube server with open registration for up to 100MB, but all of our active users get unlimited quotas. Sign up here: https://video.qoto.org. Professionally hosted with nightly backups light modern theme with full width columns (not fixed) Several extra themes - including mastodon default and mastodon default with full width columns (not fixed) Message to New Members Welcome to the Qoto Mastodon instance, its like twitter but better! Please don't hesitate to Direct Message me or tag me in Toots (what we call tweets here) if you have any questions or even if you just want to chat. If you are new to Mastodon you may want to check out this official getting started guide: https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-Mastodon/User-guide.md We are a free speech, no censorship zone. Feel free to talk about whatever you want, say whatever you want, as long as it is legal you wont ever get banned from the server. With that said we do have a few rules: No spam, and no using multiple accounts to circumvent personal bans. This server isnt a typical mastodon server either. I have personally modified the code on this server to give it several unique features you wont find on other servers. If you are new to Mastodon here is some useful info. First off, if your coming from Twitter and you'd prefer an interface that looks exactly like twitter, then just go here and login with your Qoto credential: https://halcyon.qoto.org/ No need to create an account there, your account on this server will work just fine. Just enter your username in the following format @[username]@qoto.org so for me it would be @freemo But personally I think our default skin here is way better. Basically Mastodon is a decentralized twitter. That means anyone can run a server (like Qoto) that people can sign up to and use just like twitter. The unique part is how the servers talk to each other. If you want to tag someone on the same server as you then you can just do @user however if you want to specify someone on a different server you can do @user@server. If someone follows you or mentions you on any server on the internet you'll get notified right here. So my full tag is @freemo@qoto.org. So now a bit about the timelines, there are three (unlike twitter there is just one): Home, Local, Federated. The Home timeline is just like what you'd expect on twitter, that is, everyone you are following. The local timeline is any post made by anyone on your local server. The federated timeline is what is cool. It combines the timeline of everyone on the server into one. This way you can see the posts of everyone that is followed by anyone on the server (assuming the post is public). So this timeline is a close representation of everyone on the internet who has Mastadon (though not really). Moreover we have a bot here that goes around and follows everyone it can find, so our federated feed is rather robust (covering over 1,000 instances last I checked). Only other thing that is unique is listed vs unlisted posts. You have normal privacy settings like on twitter but you also can set a post to be listed or unlisted. If it is listed it acts just as i described. If it is unlisted then it acts just as a normal tweet would but it doesnt show up on local or federated timelines anywhere.

  Fucking don't evade domain blocks. Don't try to evade domain blocks. Don't give the appearance of trying to evade domain blocks. It's the #1 sign of being a bad actor lmfao. Stop acting like a child and just deal with the fact that some people don't want to federate with you.
  Urbanists.Social users can still interact with content on qoto.org, you will just now have to explicitly follower users there to engage.
