@aroque Yes, I expect my !GNUsocial instance at http://status.hackerposse.com/url/9394 to be revived. Real Soon Now. My apologies to you and the entire !Fediverse -- I'm in the process of resurrecting my database, the unfortunate victim of power failures, dead UPS batteries, a dead motherboard, a power supply with all the smoke escaped, and a drive that died while restoring from … -

@moonman I first ran into the #Sandbox function while I was giving a demo of !GNUsocial at the KW #LinuxConf. Surprise! We had a conversation about it here shortly afterwards: https://n2.federati.net/conversation/71149#notice-71292 -

Even better, you can set up your own !GNUsocial instance. So my GNUsocial timeline isn't polluted with trolls. -

And that article lost all credibility with me at the phrase "shrieking gamer". -

Sorry, that's "Sandbox", not "Silence". And hardly sinister, it's a useful way of dealing with trolls who would just create a new ID if they were banned outright. #Silence in !GNUsocial is a more visible means of shutting down trolls, but less effective. #Sandbox #ShadowBan -

!GNUsocial has a similar feature for administrators called "Silence" #ShadwoBan #ShadowBan -

@antisocialjustice Frankly, I was surprised to learn only a few weeks ago that Twitter only has a mere 300 million users. At least 6 of whom are me. -

@antisocialjustice It's only a matter of time until !GNUsocial reaches the same number of users. #NetworkEffect -

@antisocialjustice From that article: "What if I was a business owner and my livelihood depended on this [Twitter]?" Well then, you have a bad business model for relying on a free (gratis) service without a business contract. And if you do have a business contract with Twitter and they ban you then you have grounds for a breach of contract suit and can claim damages. But all in a… -

@cmhobbs So because I usually suit'n'tie it to work every day I can expect "You look like a slob today" when my socks don't match? -

@jezra "is no putting"... Did you mean "now" or "not"? Completely changes the meaning! -

@cmhobbs Pirate radio! There used to be a pirate station in Hamilton (Ontario) when I lived there. Exciting times! Airwaves are public property, right? -

@lnxw48 And I'm OK with the agencies not offering to break phone encryption for fear of tipping their hand. Whether it's that or whether they can't break encryption, the results are the same -- phones stay encrypted. -

@lnxw48 I'm not sure what the FBI's urgency is. The shooters are dead, brute forcing the phone's encryption won't apprehend them any faster. -

@andresinmp@loadaverage.org Check out my !GNUsocial Demonstration notes at http://sobac.com/presentations/ for installation instructions starting on page 2. Also, there's raw, unedited video of me doing the demonstration in December 2015 at https://archive.org/details/KWLUGGNUsocialPresentation Run the Nostrilcam and Screencap videos simultaneously for maximal multimedia effect. -

It's my server that's having trouble. My !GNUsocial instance is merely a victim. -

I find !GNUsocial successful because it works for me. Having tech-oriented conversations actually makes GNUsocial more successful for me than #Twitter -- compare the hashtag #LaTeX on the two services and see the difference. And there are plenty of non-tech topics on other GNUsocial instances, see http://status.hackerposse.com/url/209 for example. Also, I don't see GNUsocial bein…
