@freemo For me the only thing working is the local timeline. It is from here that I am able to stay updated on QOTO progress.

@freemo Thank you for the update.

@freemo Does QOTO have an 'automated post deletion' feature?

@freemo I thought that would only be the case if the toot was a form of parallel projection and orthogonal to the projection plane.

@freemo Is the safe space for repeated orthographic miscreants?

#Question: does #Mastodon have a spell checker? If not, would a spellchecker improve #Mastodon?

"It is a puzzle why humans tend toward unrealistic optimism, as it can lead to excessively risky behavior and a failure to take precautionary action. Using data from a large nationally representative U.K. sample (N=36, 312) our claim is that optimism bias is partly a consequence of low cognition—as measured by a broad range of cognitive skills, including memory, verbal fluency, fluid reasoning and numerical reasoning."

@freemo @reviewer2 I have found Dr Freeman courteous and helpful in all of my interactions with him.

"Climate change is arguably one of the greatest challenges today. Although the scientific consensus is that human activities caused climate change, a substantial part of the population downplays or denies human responsibility. In this registered report, we present causal evidence on a potential explanation for this discrepancy: motivated reasoning."

"In this paper, we show how religiosity contributes to mental health more generally, but especially in the particular case of its effect during the Covid-19 pandemic. We find that being religious significantly reduces the negative mental health outcomes associated with Covid-19 incidence in one’s social network. This beneficial effect of religiosity on mental health, in this context, is comparable to the effect of being employed."

@freemo Is the sign an imperative for humans or crocodiles?

@freemo Especially when the delusion is being opposed.

@freemo Or the power of delusions.

@freemo @bookstodon I have to agree.

Can the the quality of a city be measured by how many #bookshops it has?

@freemo Thank you for the information. Is there a timeline for when next update is likely to be released?

@freemo Thank you for the update. I do not know if this is something that you can plan for the future but many of the features on #Tusky are not available through my #QOTO account such as #trending #hashtags.

@freemo Would you be able to give us a preview as to some of the new features we can expect on #QOTO?

@freemo So very true.
