As someone who has no idea about high-end audio equipment — do these kinds of microphones not work equally in all directions?

@thor wrong end needs to be written upside down, near the wrong end.

newly signed-up user for berserker.town just DMed me to tell me why they turned around in the door and left again, and mentioned blocks from:

based on the reasons for blocking sometimes being very specific, they said it sounded credible, and that i'm probably just a crap admin.

all i can say is that there's been a couple of cases where i've suspended users for abusive behaviour.

there have also been hundreds of reports against users who have expressed unpopular opinions or attitudes that i have closed without action, because those are allowed here.

it's very socially costly for an instance owner to allow it. a big number of instances are censoring people whose attitudes they don't like.

i can produce a much longer list of instances that happily federate with us though. it's just that some surprisingly big names on the Fediverse don't tolerate certain topics.

a surprising number of users will also report people if they're losing a heated debate, as a form of revenge, and if the admin sides with the reporting user on the issue, this often results in a block. i personally object to this kind of mentality where a debate on a topic is only permitted if you take the side that the admin takes. that's not real debate. that's just "tralala i only hear what i want to hear, you're blocked now"

nobody mocked James Cameron for visiting the Titanic in a sub, because it was the 90s and they were making a movie, so everybody just thought it was cool. oh, how the zeitgeist has changed.

@thor Self driving trains and planes exist, the reason they aren't super common place is due to unions, regulations, etc.

@thor it’s honestly surprising to me that I haven’t heard of such a project being at least planned yet, controlling something like a subway is already 99% automated, add a system to detect people on tracks and properly close doors and job’s done pretty much. I assume there’s some union shenanigans going on though, since the train drivers don’t want to be out of a job.
