The only remotely interesting character in Romulus.

Music is mixed that way, but spatial then takes a hammer to that concept.

It takes away the single interwoven sound and imo sounds like different tracks being played on opposite sides of the room.

I usually try the atmos mix for an album if it’s available on tidal, and usually all it ever does is remove the punch from songs.

Lysergic acid diethylamide doesn’t fix a bad mix.

You can still hear all the separate instruments surrounding you on a good regular mix, all the spatial does is break the interwoven sound.

I hate the “spatial” mixes.

Sometimes they’re done really well, but most of the time it’s just putting different parts of the song in different areas and makes it sound “diluted”.

Like, the guitar is in front of you, then the bass is behind and to the left… why??

Why does this subreddit always pop up when I’m high 😦

I’m not Scouse, but my family is.

I’d agree with that to an extent, but I think “Scouse first, English second” is more accurate. They’d actually probably want a bit more space between Scouse and English though 😆

I was out recently and this came up, I asked a few people if they’re proud of their country:

French - Yes

Greek - Yes

Scottish - Yes

English - No

English - No

English - No

English - No

But, to be fair, I think part of being a true English person is disliking England and being a bit negative about it.

I think the English mentality is “England’s a bit shit, but overall still better than most other countries”.

Goddamn. How many of these weird thirsty communities do y’all need, I can’t keep up with blocking all of them 😫

 

I just don't get how Lemmy is going to act as a proper replacement for Reddit.

I understand the basic concept of Lemmy and the Fediverse, and people are touting the concept of it being federated and not centrally controlled, but it is an absolute mess and nobody seems to have an idea about what to do with it.

How are communities going to grow if there isn't at least some form of central management. Other than there being an underlying framework that connects the servers, they're all just doing what they want.

Outside of the underlying framework, there's no 'guidelines' or consistency. The servers have random names, and the main Lemmy.ml is telling people to register elsewhere.

How is this going to bring in a wider audience if people are being directed to lemmy.fmhy.ml, sopuli.xyz, or sh.itjust.works?

What is the purpose of the Fediverse when forums for niche interests already exist on the internet?

Does it make sense to have something like a 'sports' server that has communities for soccer, NFL, basketball, MMA? But then how do you get a consistent naming scheme that lets people know it's part of the fediverse?

Maybe Lemmy could work as a replacement, but it seems like it needs a 'flagship' server with a group of people maintaining it to set an example. Then other servers that cover more specific areas, such as sports, can be set up and potentially work closely with that flagship group.

If this doesn't happen, then I can't see how this doesn't just fizzle out.

P.S. I've also compared two different Lemmy servers and looked at the same post in a community, and there are different numbers of comments on each where they haven't synced up...

I also wanted to post this to the main Lemmy community, but as I had to register via a different server, I'm not able to access that community from the server I'm using for some reason...
