Where this has gained some degree of attention today for the #Universeodon (and by extension #MastodonAppUK folks)
I have made use, for a while now of the minimum block list provided by @oliphant - This list combines the public block lists of a number of mastodon instances including some that I personally have had previous issues with. However, the minimum list has proven to be almost always spot on when it comes to removing servers that are known to be problematic for a range of reasons.
A couple of weeks ago that list got imported here to Universeodon, and there were a small handful (5 maybe) servers that had some existing relationship which we severed as a result of the import, which was an intentional decision on my part.
The intention behind bringing the list in was to start to align our moderation with MastodonApp, but to also try to ensure we aren't reacting to reports constantly, and that we can prevent our community from having to see content that may be upsetting.
Love it when these morons intentionally take shit out of context....

@BlueDot @freemo @wild1145 @BobMastodon @oliphant took me two seconds to see this in the bio, and no, it doesn't matter you are 'not doing it to mo...
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.

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.
Fellow nerdicators... what do you use as a replacement for google calendar.
Most important thing is having something cool, unique, innovative, and just plan novel, not a remix... something special :)
OSS is a plus, and having a beautiful web front end is also a huge plus

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

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)
Girlfriend: If I lost a limb and i was in a wheelchair for the rest of your life would you still date me?
Boyfriend: Babe if you chipped a nail I'd be out.

His jokes only get better the less context you give.
Interesting fact of the day.. a magnetic compass (when properly designed) doesn't just tell you the direction to north and south poles, it also tells you how far north or south you are (latitude), Simply put magnetic dip (the tendency for a magnetic compass to dip down or up) can be measured and used to determine latitude or compass direction.
I suspect the only reason we dont have digital compasses that can do this is simply because GPS is a more accurate and simpler to measure. But it would not be technologically very difficult to do.

@freemo Why wasn't this used to solve the famous longitude problem?

Maga wantto make it so you cant access the books they dont like, Dems want to make it so you cant access the social media profiles and posts and other forms of free speech they dont like.
Whether your calling for the censorship of Trump's Twitter account, or Hitler's Mein Kampf your in the wrong. Not because these sources are correct, but because censoring access to words is not the solution it is the problem.

What do you think about this?
Combined melee and magic attacks for a boss to make it a little more badass 
Still gotta work on the sounds though
