Cool! "researchers linked participants' responses to MusicBrainz... to classify them into 256 musical genres and then cross-referenced the results with personality traits..." Hopefully they checked the genres first 😜 -a phys.org/news/2025-11...

#metabrainzmeetingnotes, 2025-11-24 Lots of reviews, one in particular that you'll be very happy about - zas' bot-detector is stable and deployed! Here's hoping that those awful AI/bot-crawler slowdowns are a thing of the past -a Agenda: Reviews community.metabrainz.org/t/notes-from...

#metabrainzmeetingnotes, 2025-11-17 This one's a doozy! Heaps of people have been busy, mayhem resigned from the EU open source academy, and zas has worked on a bot/AI detector that was snuck into prod to test. Didn't notice? Success! -a Agenda: Reviews community.metabrainz.org/t/notes-from...

PSA: We are redesigning our #YearInMusic page this year. One consequence is that previous YiM pages are going away (all will be collated into the new YiM page/design, rather than having separate pages). If you liked the designs from previous YiM, now is the time to save those images and pages! -a

Our lovely server team (aka Zas and Julian) are hard at work on this issue. Unfortunately it's not quite as simple as running [product x], but they are on it. Thank you so much for your ongoing patience! And f AI scrapers -a

Haven't heard this one before! -a
