  • In Amsterdam i boarded a busy tram, headed for the centre away from a trade show.

    A lot of people had boarded at the back of the tram, so the woman driving the tram got on the intercom and asked in her dry and flat Amsterdam accent of people could please move to the front of the tram, not many people complied.

    A minute or so later somebody cut the tram off in traffic, necessitating her to brake sharply. Quite a few people stumbled forward due to the sudden deceleration.

    Not dropping a beat she was back on the intercom, saying: ‘well that’s they other way of getting it done, but next time please listen’. Her casual delivery was brilliant. Best time I’ve had in public transport.






  • I feel most of the extreme views can be moderated with a ban list of several instances (notably hexbear and lemmygrad) and several individuals. The toxicity of the discourse lowers drastically.

    I tend to tag users that seem disingenuously pushing agendas, and if they persist in that consequently they go on the ban list.

    That improved my experience by miles and made clear that the group of people doing this is actually quite marginal.
