Guys it’s starting to seem like America loves proxy wars or something.

If only the rest of the world was so honest!

Daily totals mate.

Do you use a VPN?

Always nice to have more music in the rotation, thanks for posting!

Constructive criticism or meaningful suggestions should be welcomed imo, and when opinions differ reactions like yours are some of the best. I appreciate that you aren’t hellbent on everyone fitting in the same box! Seriously, thank you for the civil interactions!

Footnote- I typed out a long-winded post about fediverse philosophy and decided this isn’t the place for it. Maybe in another thread.

There’s definitely merit in what you’re saying but I’m also fine with it staying how it is.

The idea is that it should be easy to share what you have on, but we’re all using different services. IMO the easiest thing is using Lemmy’s title filling feature which is the song name by default with Spotify links. I believe the other services like YouTube and tidal work similarly.

Many of the posts in that community are made by members while they are working, which also makes me hesitant to enforce title rules on them. Quick and easy posts are easy to blast out when all you have is a second or two. Maybe in time as it becomes more than just a handful of people posting it should be revisited.

FWIW I’m ok with the communities I create never becoming popular on Lemmy. Most are created for a small group of friends to mess around on where other services don’t fit the bill. I’d much rather have fun posting when the mood strikes than worry about fitting a particular posting guideline. If like-minded people happen to join in, awesome. If not, we were having fun before and we’ll continue to have fun without them!

There’s been a decent amount of activity at !sessionjams@sh.itjust.works and the music is always all over the place. Popular music, obscure music, non American music, pretty much everything depending on the day.

I have downvoting disabled anyway but it sucks that others are influenced by it.

I think there are a lot of people on Lemmy trying to turn public spaces into their private space, or shape communities into what they want instead of fostering a new one from the ground up.

It’s dead simple to start an instance or even a community on an instance that aligns with how people feel. Somehow instead we’ve defaulted to projecting negativity, which inhibits growth. Lemmy can be better.

How motivating do you think it is to post to smaller communities just to get an unrepresentative number of downvoters right off the bat? I can’t speak for OP but I’m sure there are plenty that don’t post or reply at all because of it.

I think at its core downvoting can be fine but on smaller platforms it’s easily abused as a form of content suppression, bullying, etc. Lemmy seems to be particularly prone to account hopping downvote spam, which sucks but it is what it is.

Thankfully Lemmy is flexible enough to create what you want more privately if one is so inclined. I’m smoking weed about it.

Lemmitors can’t resist downvoting.

The first word of the post is satire mate.

Insane how fast drones have evolved. The future is here and it’s horrifying.

If only there was a bot for that.

Thanks for the community link!

I believe that’s currently a brick, the inevitable fate of every cybertruck

You do much video streaming on matrix? That’s what they were using discord for.
