I received a notification to use Door Dash yesterday, to order food... while I was cooking soup.

Alison also made a compilation of all the tik-toks of people reacting to the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNa-8tFoUxs which I think adds a fair amount of humor (but I'm sure some people will feel this is beeting a dead horse)
Right, only one side of the connection needs an open port (and most clients will let that be either seed or leech side)... this is why having an open port on your end is useful if you're downloading, since you can download from seeders that don't have an open port.
If you want the instances to sync, you just need to sync the directory. (I currently use nextcloud sync for this, but in the past I used synching and before that btsync)
If they dont try to modify the files at the same time (with sync delay) there won't be any issues. If they do grow out of sync, you can fix pretty easily with db repair.
the mastodon spam that's mostly died down... we'll see how that ends up. we saw similar things where admins got told to turn on approvals for all new accounts... which isn't super scalable.
Anyway, Fediverse is finally important enough to send spam to, we'll see how well devs can make solutions for spam on a federated platform.
But yeah generally agree, there's no conspiracy here, it's just fighting spam is hard... and having an account with X amount of Karma is hard for a bot to pull off (without leaving a really obvious paper trail of bots upvoting each other)
worldcat lists the institutions with this book https://search.worldcat.org/title/1048005393, you'll probably have to show up in person. You may be able to do an inter-library loan if your local library doesn't have the book, you could get it from a sister library. However, the only public library that lists having the book is the Austin Public library in Austin, Texas.
