Best way imo is to talk to folks. Find a mentor. Even folks I never thought would know about X had thoughts or suggestions. Hell my wife just helped me with a thumbnail and she’s not an artist, but she’s been doing school presentations and had massively useful constructive criticism. :-)
Block them. I can’t do anything about the bullies, I won’t bully anyone and if it comes off as bullying, maybe there’s a misunderstanding from me.
We can only build our communities how we want them and ignore the rest. Bullying is going to happen sadly, but we have the opportunity to push that shit away and build a welcoming and wholesome community.
We’ll disagree sometimes, but we need to do our best to be as respectful as possible.
I’ll say this, Owncast has quite a few streamers into music as well. A lot of folks looked for alternative music making platforms during Covid, because as Gabe Kangas told me, Twitch was cracking down while everyone was home. Maybe check there as well for a community?
I agree! <3 :-) And it’s our chance to rebuild the internet!
Preservation is so MASSIVELY important imo atm. With Internet Archive under fire, Reddit and Twitter closing APIs, Google shutting down fucking everything, we need OUR internet, not theirs and we need to protect that which is precious to us.
100% more humanity!
That’s ok! It happens. maybe fokls don’t know it exists! Are there other communities that align with beat making? Maybe start there and talk with folks there?
I don’t want 500, but if I had a choice between finding it on the Fediverse or Reddit, I’d prefer the Fediverse personally.
Let’s DO IT! :-)
YUP! Just spoke on the SearxNG Matrix folks: https://matrix.to/#/#searxng:matrix.org
And you CAN do !bangs for the Fediverse they said. !lemmy or !mastodon for instance. I didn’t know that! I’ll be posting more about this.
Why not share it here? WHy not free the information? Someone could delete their Reddit post or Google could change their algorithm again tomorrow to suit their own needs. We’re currently accepting the old system that’s showing it can’t be trusted. I say free the information. I might be naive though, but I have to try at least.
I think all knowledge should be shared with everyone. And we have the opportunity to make sure that knowledge we’re giving out stays free forever on the Fediverse.
Deleting them only deletes them visibily. They don’t provide Reddit value for customers, but they’re still in the system somewhere in backups or in a DB, etc.
But still, I’m saying, having conversations. Start talking more here. Ask and answer, find others with similar interests. Let’s dog food this Fediverse!
Yeah we need to pivot to being more open. But not even just Lemmy. Post anywhere. Anyone can build anything. The Fediverse isn’t Lemmy. I posted on Piefed.social. :-)
I’m not saying LEMMY specifically. I’m on Piefed Social. I’m saying ANYWHERE on the Fediverse. Find your platform, build your platform.
Love this. Yes anywhere on the Fediverse. I wonder if Searxng has a Fediverse search.
100% this. SHARE anything and everything. Pretend like the internet doesn’t exist and it’s day one. Build it.
Go for it! WE get to bikd it however WE want! And the Fediverse can sort by boosts. That’s your ‘this answer solved my problem’ or hell even go back and edit your comment to indicate the post that solved your problem.
This is what I’m getting at. We can only control ourselves, so let’s be tenacious in posting more here. Again it doesn’t have to be a technical question. It could just be “hey I had this issue I fixed it withblah”. Whatever you’re passionate in.
Sending best of vibes to you.
