not someone i like but i raised an eyebrow a little seeing the pitchfork review for the new rosalia album

was my prediction end of year for this i forget

I saw "The Dillinger Escape Plan" and the wall of text and immediately assumed this was the poop incident

im on the current de facto #1 best private tracker for music and i dont really use it because soulseek has literally all of it, including stuff that isnt even on there

there was that one site everyone put all of their mugen stuff onto. esnips. i wonder how much of that is gone now

if its any consolation i lost track after 4

I am a programmer and I still just didn't bother. Also the instance I signed up on got nuked and I didn't know this until well after the migration window closed. By comparison my 12 year old Twitter account is still there

It's pretty isolating, everyone else either drank the kool aid hard or is "well it's not all bad" about it, I get stared at like I have 5 heads when I claim there isn't a single good thing about it

This thread possibly fuelled by recent events. Take your pick. Don't stare at lines of code for 8 hours a day it turns you into Hitler. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

I don't fit in anywhere and this fact only really troubles me more over time. At the same time I wish people acted in ways that didn't make me hate them so much

But there's also a reason I keep severing ties and running away to corners of the internet, I think I became a fairly annoying and unlikeable person at some point, and I think (...and hope) it's just out of some well-placed misanthropy and not like undiagnosed BPD or something

I really wanted to convince myself it was just the Silicon Valley Y Combinator Rationalist You Can Just Do Things mindset. So I just needed to find people who don't think like that. I'm now convinced this is impossible. I don't even live in the same country as Silicon Valley

i literally cant find any real world analogues entertaining this on any level, is this because of all the butlerian jihad posts? the "clanker" posts (which came from techbros)? are people being mean to chatgpt specifically, is using the term "ai slop" an attack on its character?

i had no idea lmao, i just enjoyed the few hours i played of it

none of the words in your bio actually mean anything

I wasn't exactly picturing a movement with a name, more just a bunch of disgruntled people collectively agreeing they should leave, like what happened with Twitter. So I guess that led to two different points being argued

I think we just had two different ideas of that in mind. The way everyone agreed Twitter was run by a Nazi, locked their accounts and changed their names to their Bluesky accounts was about as "organised" as this would be to me.
