Just to be clear (I posted the charts) the point where user count started to plummit seems oddly in line with the date listed on your profile as the date you joined the server.

So just to be clear, all the data aligns, not to mention the ton of people coming forward (you cant see the thread cause you have them all blocked) calling you out and showing your bad-moderating practices and abuse.

The evidence speaks for itself.

Similar experience.. we basically got "It doesn't matter if the accusations are real, it doesn't matter you have clear proof it was fabricated/a lie. You are on their block list and thats the criteria, take it up with them (mastodon.art et el).

Just FYI apparently #Universeodon has switched to the incredibly abusive and poorly maintained oliphant block list that is itself dictated, in part, of mastodon.art's abusive block list.

See my response here: https://mastodon.acm.org/@freemo/111908751487276074

As well as the Admin admitting this is the case here: https://mastodon.acm.org/@wild1145@universeodon.com/111889411895912635

very disappointed in their lack of due diligence.

I also just checked and this seems to have monumentally damaged the use count on the server.

I dont know exactly when this was enacted but in recent months the user count for the server plummeted from 80K to 20K and has month by month been continually decreasing since then as people flock away from the server. I suspect the use of this extremely abusive block list, and perhaps similar decisions are a large part of the reason.

@freemo Yes non-euclidean! It is a red and blue tree inside the poincaré disk model of hyperbolic geometry.

@freemo

Mechanical compasses of that sort are more complicated, at least because you need a vertical reference and a gimbal with 2 degrees of freedom.

Also, that's not very accurate if you don't know your longitude: the isolines of vertical strength are amusingly curvy: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/World_Magnetic_Inclination_2020.pdf

BTW I wonder how many sports trackers use the magnetic field to simplify their motion tracking, and then work very differently sufficiently far north or sufficiently close to the equator. (E.g. for breaststroke in swimming pools oriented east-west in Switzerland keeping a running average of the magnetic field direction at wrist is a more reliable way of counting lengths than what Garmin was doing up until something like 1-2 years ago)

You are literally the mockery of the internet before you even responded.
