  • Lol, most of these acts have watered down over the years.

    Mudvayne is only happening because Hellyeah is mostly done after Vinnie Paul’s death. Not sure how they’ll be, if they’ll be anything.
    Korn has been sucking.
    Slipknot is a little unstable right now.
    System of a Down isn’t really doing much and Serj Tankian hasn’t been that interested in rejoining the band.
    Deftones is solid.
    Limp Bizkit is a has been, also fuck Fred Durst.
    Disturbed is just okay.
    Papa Roach is so-so.
    Static-X is just a tribute act these days.
    Drowning Pool lost a lot of relevancy.
    Mushroomhead seem to be doing fine.
    Alien Ant Farm is still doing something but they’re so-so. One hit wonder.
    CrazyTown is more or less dead.
    Ill Nino is just up in the air.





  • Lemmy's admins is partially at fault here. Like, you go into the Fediverse to give users refuge from the burnout and dissastifaction as to what they have seen and experienced on bigger social media platforms. Where distrust is at an all time high.

    And then you go and decide to host your main announcements over on a platform where people have stirring feelings of contempt for the platform that is centralized. You are going to alienate your audience.


  • On one hand, it’s a great sigh of relief to not see so many communities contaminated with shallow interactions that are harbored by typical Redditquette behavior.

    The other hand, it’s depressing to see so much wasted potential. I mean, there was supposed to have been a big revolution, wasn’t there? The fediverse did gain a large chunk of users. But, most of the time, it was treated like a temporary vacation resort or some airbnb to most users that are “so tired” of reddit. No, they were only tired of reddit because it was both the cool thing to do and it was for a short period.

    But they can’t escape the crack, they know it is addicting. The karma farming. The alt-account abuse. The drama. No, they want it all back and can’t fathom a part of social media where none of that is existent, save for a bare minimum. Hell, millions of people still somehow use Twitter today even though Musk has done a wonderous job taking a daily dump on it.

    People really are afraid of change.

    I feel a lot more contributory towards other platforms not Reddit. On Reddit, I just feel like I just say things until I hit walls. Those walls being, being confronted by shithead mods, dumbass trolls or feeling claustrophobic from where I can post because of the karma.
