I feel like this is an example of how the core dev team running on an instance that basically just has 3 of the admins do more or less all the moderation for the entire site is not ideal. This type of feature is probably one of the most-requested pain points for most people who run most servers, but my guess is that it’s basically completely invisible to the .ml team why it would even be needed, because their model works fine for them, so why would they.

Of course they’ve got a right to work or not work on whatever they want, but if their goal is success and good moderation for most servers this type of scalability and teamwork enabling thing is super important.

I'm surprised that they decided to host
DM's/etc. themselves, and not potentially integrate a protocol like Matrix.Org, XAMPP, etc.

Ik that Matrix allows user:

Clients

Bridges

Servers

Integrations

etc.

Matrix.org

Matrix, the open protocol for secure decentralised communications

They mean more "bored of life" than "bored in the moment".

Used habitually, it can be a pacifying kind of drug. You're unhappy with things, so you get stoned to get a little escape. If you didn't have the out of that little escape, you might be more inclined to make choices and put in the work to make lasting changes.

On the other side, shrooms makes you uncomfortably confront the shit that you don't like about yourself and neural pathways get a chance to reroute, so you can kinda give yourself the kick in your ass you need to see the problem and make changes.

Fuck off, Dad! I learned it from watching you!

Also, genuinely sorry to hear about your record label and tour dates recently. ✊🏼

Honestly, I think most of Eggers' flims are probably still fantastic without dialogue. The atmosphere and visuals he creates tell the story all on their own most of the time.

Hell, I couldn't even tell you what the hell they're saying in The Witch without subtitles and it's still one of the best horror movies released in the last decade.

I don't know if it's still a thing in the digital age, but having even just a few seconds of dead air back in the analogue broadcast days could mean that "silence detectors" all over the country would start going off and radio engineers everywhere would think there was some kind of problem with their station. So there had to be talking, music, something at pretty much all times.

If you wanted intentional silence you could play comfort noise in the background.
