Wow! @ivory on the front page of the AppStore. Apple really on team mastodon. Love to see this!

Thinking about it, perhaps the difficulty to get on — small, though much harder than other social media — is sometimes a feature. I think that most aren't willing to put in a lot of effort, perhaps one of the reasons there's so, so much less spam in the "comments" here.

When Jesus said that we should always forgive, even if the offense is repeated, he knew that Christians soon and hundreds of years in the future would be asking forgiveness of him, even daily of the same sins over and over again. The parable of the unforgiving servant follows in Matthew 18. Changes how the passage feels to me. :D

"Too often we attack cultural challenges with a spirit of misplaced certainty. We feel like we know what’s wrong, and we know how to fix it, and when we know we’re right, opposition is frustrating at best and infuriating at worst. The more certain we are, the more likely we are to view opponents not just as wrong, but evil. Do they not want to solve our crises?" - David French

Remember that by far, most people aren't out with the intent to destroy good.

@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`

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!

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

For this #FollowFriday, I want to highlight @medium. "Wait," Sharon says, "I thought Medium has its own publishing thing."

That's right, Sharon! They do. That's why having them setting up their own #Mastodon instance, which they'll be inviting their writers to microbolg to, is so interesting. Props to @coachtony embracing the fediverse as part of their continued writers' mission . More here: blog.medium.com/medium-embrace

Of course, there is more to do. Some great ideas here: mastodon.social/@jesseKawell@h
