    Yup, I got muted for telling someone about audio. There’s a lot of snake oil in audiophile circles, and someone had posted something that was blatantly untrue. I’m a professional audio technician, and I gently hit them with the dreaded “um akshually…”

    Turns out, they were getting ratio’ed pretty hard, because a lot of people were calling them out. And apparently when a bunch of people correct someone, Meta will just start automatically muting anyone who replies, because the comments get too repetitive.

    Which sounds asinine to me; If someone is spreading misinformation, they shouldn’t be able to hide behind the “too many people are disagreeing with me” shield.
