@Texan_Reverend I'm seeing people boosting posts about instances muting or blocking the new BBC instance because of their transphobic reporting.
As a trans person I'd like to request that you *don't* do that.
They're generally a respected news source and having them throwing their weight into Mastodon would be a huge boon.
I'd also rather get my transphobic news stories from the source than second-hand posts linking to them.
I think the positives of their presence outweigh the negatives.

That took a while and in the end it's like two lines of code but it's two important lines
I feel like I've learned a lot about sed

"when a gem is made, it's for a reason. they burst out of the ground already knowing what they're supposed to be, and that's what they are. forever. but you? you're *supposed* to change. you're never the same, even moment to moment! you're allowed and expected to invent who you are. what an incredible power, the ability to grow up..."
A friend recommended unplugging everything from the wall, turning the power switch off entirely, pressing the power-on button a few times then plugging everything back in and turning it back on. It turned on, which is very good, but slightly scarier than if it were simply broken
