I would really like to forward your poll to the old cat lady downstairs, but she doesn't want to be bothered with such trivialities such as Social Media polls,
and prefers to occupy herself with academic nepotism and

So I'm boosting this on a Fediverse instance dedicated to science, to increase the reach of this poll among science-minded people.
@freemo @GeePawHill
Yes, please.
With particular emphasis on the temporal characteristics (impulse response) of the gain control parameter and the logarithmic characteristic of the AGC.

As for the comment of @atomicpoet
further upthread:
"4/ Unfortunately, a lot of instances signed up for UFoI because, from a cursory glance, it looks like they have good intentions.
But because they're now associated with UFoI -- even if briefly -- they are now indiscriminately on Fediblock.

This isn't being proactive, it's being reactive and lazy."
I WAS being proactive:
