Not a robot.
Yay, I’m glad you like the idea! As I say it might take time though. And depending on how much, I might split up punk, heavy and general alternative. There’s already some good stuff in this thread, stuff that was out when I was going out to clubs and shit but that just never got played anywhere. Apart from the obvious stuff like Arch Enemy and Nightwish. Funny that.
Anyway, at least now my next stint of making lists won’t be so pointless.
Hello… Hope you’re hanging in there and taking care of yourself this evening. Sorry for taking so long to respond to this, I meant to get back to this thread sooner.
It’s a real pity that I can’t even see that community (and a couple of others there) from here. I wish you could convince your friend to open an alt community in more neutral ground. Or try to make some sort of amends with all of the instances that are de-federated with hilariouschaos. There’s some big ones de-federated from it, even piefed.social, which I tried the other day.
If you’re interested, now that I’m attending to this post, it seems likely that my next fixation on something to categorise and make lists of is going to be this very topic lol. I’ll probably only be done in a couple of months from now but if you would like, I could post my results in Women’s Stuff (or I could pass it on to you to post, if you prefer). Otherwise if you think it’s a better idea, I could post it to gpral from another account, although I wish I could do that without feeling bad about Blåhaj people being blocked off from it.
And, just gonna ping your new account in case you never look at the old one anymore: @LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al
I don’t really know any jokes but maybe a random comic strip can help the cause (had to dig for something I haven’t downloaded from Lemmy):
Just want to say, after reading that, including the statement from the band themselves, it reads to me like these members got kicked out, then vented their frustrations. Maybe I’m missing something but this all sounds like pretty standard band politics to me, especially when egos and perfectionism are concerned. At least I don’t see anything about nazi salutes or groupie abuse or some shit in there.
Anyway, sorry for the late reply. Got to this late. Finally got everything listed and categorized and decided to start to with the punk kind of stuff first. Just started listening this morning and I was hooked from the first track on the first album. I can even say it’s exactly the kind of punk rock I’ve been missing and looking for for a long time now. So thanks for this suggestion!
Nah I don’t think I have to worry about anything backfiring and if I just say hi and ask what’s up. But I mean the talking all day and into the late hours is probably understandably a thing of the past now. At least for now, in the early days of her playing house and starting a new life.
Holy shit, I was just thinking about my old online friend, who moved in with her boyfriend recently and who I haven’t heard from since. Then I saw this post straight away. It sucks. I should ask her how things are going but I’m pretty sure that friendship has to change.
I wonder how various admins finally put a stop to that. Haven’t got a message from her in a while now that I think of it.
Yeah unfortunately true. I used to be fine just rolling with Firefox but ever since making the switch to using apps instead, it’s undeniable that there’s a lot of advantages. At least for now while I wait for more Piefed app support, Summit is pretty great and fills in a couple of gaps missing from the native Lemmy experience.
I’ll definitely carry on keeping an eye on things on the Piefed front though.
Hey Blaze, just wanted to say, I’ve tried out Piefed a little more. Can confirm mobile theming is definitely fixed. Think I might hold out a little longer for an app or more of certain options. A couple of things I’ll miss right now from apps is pinning favourite communities or being able to tweak my UI just right.
So I’ll probably stick with base Lemmy for a while longer. Thinking of moving to crazypeople.online though. Less de-federation but downvotes still disabled, which might just suit me better right now. If I do that, I’ll probably use the screen name that I’m using on this account right now as a username there. Although I’ll take your advice and link my accounts in my bio.
As someone that likes to do a lot of scrolling, I’m also running into the same problem. There really just isn’t enough content here for it yet. There’s already a pretty small over all amount of users posting, and people have likes and dislikes and tastes and vibes, so out of that small amount, there’s only so much to interact with. Like, there’s a fair amount of content in ask and chat style communities and TV communities but no one likes everything or thinks the same topics are interesting.
So it really just needs more. So that there’s more of the same types of people watching the same shows and interested in the same topics. It doesn’t have to be packed in here, it could just do with a little more of something for everyone. It would’ve been nice if there were more than two people discussing Harley Quinn season 5 for example.
On Reddit I could spend all day every day interacting with my particular interests without ever feeling like I’m being a nuisance or repeating myself. It’s nice having a smaller crowd but I’d like something between this and Reddit.
Congrats! That’s a scary step to take but I’m sure it must be a relief having someone who really knows you as well. I hope that it all goes smoothly as you open up to more people.
Oof. I’d be me at the tail end of apartheid in my country. I’m going to assume (and hope) that this timeline magic also puts me in my home town of the vicinity of where I was at that time because then I’d at least know where to go to find the people I would want to be around. I’d go straight to where the alternative scene is and get in with the punks and goths and hippies, so that I’m at least around decent people. Might even meet some of the people that I knew when I got into the scene originally as their younger selves, which would actually be pretty cool.
As for what I’d do to survive, honestly not sure, considering that I would still be the same age that I am now with the same lack of career and shit. I guess I’d just keep doing this or that for a while. With my limited knowledge, maybe invest a little in Microsoft, then Facebook at the appropriate times. Until Bitcoin is a new thing, then I’d definitely dump whatever cash I had into a few Bit oin. Then be rich enough to never worry about anything again at like 70 years old or something lol.
Too many. I like to have favourites, not just one. So (I’ve probably missed stuff), I’m gonna list general favourites, going mostly by what I’ve rewatched and plan to rewatch more. My favourites could change over time and if I included stuff that was my favourite once but I’ve never had the urge to rewatch, this list would be much longer (I wish I could have simple answers to things).

Just finished Metroid Fusion earlier, started Metroid Zero Mission. Replaying both. Probably going to get to the GBA Castlevania games soon as well.
Although I’m starting to get an itch for a Phantasy Star run again so by this time next week I’ll probably be busy with that. Thinking of going straight to Phantasy Star 3 this time. I’ve played PS1 the most by far and PS2 multiple times as well but I’ve only fully completed PS3 once so far.
Tf is your problem. Asking questions is literally the point of this community. And it’s fun to have daily random questions around here and to read the answers. Not everything has to be political or serious all the time.
I love this wallpaper.
Whichever animal I’m currently looking at.
It would probably end up sounding the same or similar because it would be years worth of clubs and live music and band practise and listening to music in my earphones too loud all jumbled up together and playing at the same time.
Yeah I guess there’s two different categories of sci-fi in this regard. Personally, I think stuff that’s as far ahead in the future as Star Trek is pretty close to fantasy. But then there’s also the Philip K. Dick style near future dystopian sci-fi that serves more as a warning about the future we’re headed to (or instruction manual if you’re a techbro CEO).
Fantasy is probably the same actually. I usually think happy thoughts if I think about fantasy as a genre but then there’s also stuff like Game of Thrones.
Y’all Qaeda
