I cannot restate enough how underspecified and fragmented the fediverse ecosystem is if you try to actually do anything "cool" with it.

@sun i have some appreciation for the misskey approach of 'just put random shit in the object and let god sort it out'
@lain I felt a great sense of freedom working with Egregoros and not trying to ram everything through the mastodon-shaped pinhole anymore.
@phnt @i @lain we have our own network, it's even smaller than mastodon. that prick just wants to build out mastodon, people give him more money so he can pay the hosting costs of dumping even more people just into mastodon.social I guess.

>what's lacking is the fun. That's what the pleroma network needs.
This is a general statement on society as a whole. The fun on the Internet is mostly gone, reduced to ragebait and infighting.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad @i @phnt @lain @sun my friends band sometimes tours as bat sabbath and they played this once 3 or 4 years ago and it was the only time I heard the lead not screaming. great track
@noyoushutthefuckupdad @i @phnt @lain @sun unfortunately the only tracks of theirs recorded as bat sabbath are lives (probably dmca reasons) but they released an EP of covers recently as bat sabbath
here's a sample of their newest work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICKx7VUqyKY

@noyoushutthefuckupdad @i @phnt @lain @sun remember watching them 20 years ago in a buddys basement with 15 other people. 20 years later they came up to me with a bunch of poast buddies "long time no see man!!!"
@graf @i @phnt @lain @sun in 2000, I got a job at a fast food place, and my manager was in a metal band. they were so small-time that they aren't even listed on Metal Archives or Discogs now, but I still listen to the mp3s once in awhile. they were great fun, and I saw them live about 10 times.
they had the potential to make it big if they had some connections rather than living in the run-down shithole town where I grew up.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad @i @phnt @lain @sun the scene in niagara region during this time included alexisonfire, often saw them in basements with 15-30 people playing with these guys. they took off because of dallas green so i try to pump my boys up when i can. almost everybody I've met irl from poast I've dragged to at least one of their concerts and they come back for more, sometimes multiple times a month. even from the US
@noyoushutthefuckupdad @i @phnt @lain @sun they used to be. they toured here with blnk182 so tickets were 300+ for nose bleeds so my buddy and I passed it up but I was talking to my buddies in the bats and they are going to try to kick up a tour with moneen and alexisonfire like back in 2004. if they do I will be front and center and if I have to fly you in I will
@graf @i @phnt @lain @sun rad. and if you're ever in $my_town, I'll be glad to take you to a concert sometime. or at least some small-time metal/punk bands in a bar. the city always has those happening.
walking up to musicians after a show and being able to talk to them one-on-one is a great experience.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad @i @phnt @lain @sun no they came out to us, big cred boost for me
@noyoushutthefuckupdad @i @phnt @lain @sun you're just in the crowd drinking a beer, buddy comes up and grabs your hand and pulls you in for a hug "long time no see man" friends who've never seen the band "who was that?"
