It appears that there was an issue on an instance from Ukraine. While the power was out, accounts were created to troll users.
Just a quick reminder that you should not accept every follower just because they want to follow you. Take that extra step to check out their profile. Check their followers count. Be diligent. Be safe. But, have fun!

@mhoye I'd say sponge, pv, ts, and vipe. All these except pv are "moreutils".

Sponge buffers stdin, writing it to stdout or a file on EOF. Neat for overwriting a file in-place. E.g. `shuf file | sponge file`
Pv is like cat, but with a "progress bar". E.g. `pv file | nc ...`
Ts is like cat but it timestamps each line. E.g. `ts >> diary`
Vipe is like cat, but it lets you text-edit data as it flows through. E.g. `vipe > somefifo`

@jimsamuel@c.im @rbreich I'm sure they can handle 5%. They do create a lot of jobs though

@SocialistStan @doxial@mastodon.social @Cleopatra@c.im @QasimRashid It seems to me that bans sometimes cause more problems than they help avoid (e.g. the Prohibition), and sometimes help the issue (like banning certain vehicles from the road).

@doxial@mastodon.social @Cleopatra@c.im @SocialistStan @QasimRashid Is there anything that you think should be banned, or should nothing be banned in your opinion

USPOL, abortion 

@feditips Thanks :) Worth noting that many servers block some other servers, and so the Federated timeline won't show posts from there.

@Big_Diggity (Just having fun. I've heard that social media moderation can be difficult. But theres.life probably doesn't give you much trouble)

@cyberghost@fosstodon.org I'm just wondering where you find these cool pictures... I like the theming of depth and "cyber".

@Big_Diggity Well if you're a Fedi server admin your day job can be being a moderator *and* screaming LOVE! THY! NEIGHBOR! LKSYASDFCLKSN DOOOO... ITTT!

@cyberghost@fosstodon.org That's too bad :/

@cyberghost@fosstodon.org That's really annoying. Maybe you can try Tor. If it blocks that too, I think there's a way to set up it so that websites can't tell you're using Tor. (Tor is slow though.)

@anildash I think cryptocurrency was a cool idea. It's too bad the direction users generally took it. But I don't think that blockchain tech is inherently bad.

I was backing up my computer, copying a bunch of files off a USB drive, and had a torrent open (with download complete though)

Well, OK, it has been a long time. But still... again
