  • Das erinnert mich an eine Szene von Fight Club, wo sie eine große, kugelförmige Skulptur aus der Halterung lösen und es in ein Geschäft rollen lassen. (Hab kein Clip auf die Schnelle gefunden.)

  • I didn't know that. I'll remove it.

  • What are the advantages of downvotes anyway? If somebody breaks the rules, you can report them. If nothing is done about it, you can leave a community. If you dislike most of the content of an user or a community, you can give your negative feedback or block them. If you think somebody is wrong on some subject, you can correct them.

    Sure, to be honest it feels good to press the downvote button on a comment or post I dislike, but I could live without it.

    I chuckled.

  • Can someone provide a quick rundown on what makes them "problematic" to cause such a reaction?

  • The admin TedvdB replied to this post:

    Okay, I restarted Lemmy and it seem to have caught up with the federation. Im not sure why, but federation to lemmy.world was stuck. I’ll keep monitoring the situation, but for now it seems like it’s resolved.

  • I also sent a DM to the admin. Those federation issues are so frustrating.

  • To be fair, Cowbee didn't specify that they successfully tried it!

  • Maybe a Joy Division/New Order meme?

  • I would guess it's maybe Melodic Hardcore.

  • I know about it, I use it myself. But I don't "scrobble" directly to ListenBrainz, it's connected to my Last.fm.

    I'm not a big fan of the recommendations it gives me, not obscure enough for me. Maybe they will improve as more people use it, because AFAIK the algorithm is only based on listening data of users. I feel like the recommendations could already be better if MusicBrainz data like tags, labels, compilations albums, etc. were used additionally. (Example: You listen to artist X. Songs by artist Y are included in multiple compilation albums which also feature songs by artist X. Maybe you also like artist Y!)

    For now I prefer tools like the one I posted here: There's a collection of albums tagged with music genres, styles, etc. You want to discover albums with a certain tag. The tool provides you with a random album with that certain tag.

    (You can also do this manually with Rate Your Music charts by using a random number generator. I kinda wish they added a feature to do this automatically.)

  • It's always kind of funny, because you obviously expect a pun due to the format and then it's just completely random and absurd. Anti-humor, I guess what it's called.

  • The average for every single Lemmy instance was 8.208262964 comments per post.

    I wonder how much that statistic would change if you exclude news or politics communities.
