@AusSocialMods As a first responder (note: NOT in the police), all I would ask is can you please note that you discriminate against members based on employment status in the rules / about page, as currently you do not state anything at all about this and this post came as a complete shock to me. I agree with everything listed in the rules at: https://aus.social/about and there is absolutely nothing there to indicate that you are anti-emergency service personnel. It would be worth listing other professions you target as well while you are at it. I am all for moderating CONTENT, but moderating based on where people work is way over the line. Based on this post, I do not feel safe or welcome here and will be finding a new instance. Further, I will be recommending others avoid this server. Such clear disrespect for Australian society seems to have turned this instance into the exact opposite of what it claims to be.

Even if the qt function was identical here as on Twitter, the issue isn't the tool, it's (apparently) how some people used it on the other site. Personally, maybe I didn't follow the wrong people but I only ever saw qt used usefully, eg to share an announcement about a new bus service and add a comment about your experience with it. Heaps easier than retweeting then tweeting a comment both to keep the association and make it easier to share both. Maybe the issue over there was the moderation rather than the feature?

I don't like graffiti, but I would buy a t-shirt with that tram on it. And yes, go team #Tramstodon!

@jr Actually back when I had my original Samsung Galaxy S (2010! 😲), They gave you, was it Tom Tom GPS? One of the well known car GPS brands anyway - for free, and it was better than early Google maps at the time for directions, and otherwise cost $50 on Google (was it Marketplace back then?) - so that was a good deal. That's the only app I can recall using from an app store other than Google's.
