This album is simply a masterpiece. Perfect from the first note to the end to me. I liked Mitski before, but this new one. Oh my, she dug deep here. It's subtle, it's not, it's bold, it's quiet... but it's gutwrenching. Love it!

yeah, just posted one! Instead of 2 threads, just did the one. But also, would love suggestions!!!

 

Absolutely love this album. Not even sure how to describe it. It's "Americana" but much more layered and textured. Old school and modern. Also - she's Canadian lol.

No Depression: "Allison Russell’s jubilant follow-up to her award-winning solo debut dwells deep in the recesses of the soul. It’s imbued with a radiant spirituality that illumines the liminal spaces of human existence, and it exudes a joy that rides her transcendent vocals and the musical fabric created by her glorious collaborators."

no, been a freebie user since Google Readers died and honestly, for the way I use it, to pop on and scroll through the feed then clicking on some articles? I've never felt limited or like I needed to pay to do anything.

RSS is great for following blogs and sites of specific interests, like local sites, or sites about specific subjects. You get ALL the updates. For example. I live in Baltimore and have a bunch of local sites in my RSS reader.

Reddit/Lemmy, on the other hand, is a more democratically human curated and upvoted aggregator so while it hits all the popular stuff beyond the topics you follow on RSS, it will miss a lot too.

So I use both.

Feedly for hundreds of sites of interest. And Reddit and now Lemmy for the rest.

Good stuff!

Who cares? The dude’s about to die. Jesus.

While I think you car analogy is flawed, maybe a bus analogy would be better?

Anyway, I think the biggest complaint is really about what the site was, what it was for, and now what he’s done to the site to destroy all of that. It’s not the first time something with a lot of users, readers, fans, etc absolutely hated when a new direction or ownership of a company ruined everything they loved about the company.

People have spent YEARS of their lives on that site. It wasn’t my main jam, easy to delete for me, but it was a source of news and what’s happening right now. But for some people, especially those with a following, it was their main voice and this dumb billionaire manbaby is just destroying it.

Derp! Thanks!!

It’s scale.

Scale is the enemy of social networks. All of them, including Lemmy.

Let’s say 0.1% of the population are just straight up assholes who ruin everything.

If you only got 100 people on a site, no one is an asshole.

1000 people? Well now you got that asshole Andy in the group. Fucking Andy. But we can deal with him.

But we scale up to 1,000,000? Well now you got 1000 fucking assholes to deal with!
