Fucking excellent. One of the best modern thrashers, and my favourite bands of all time.

That show looks boring af, can’t lie.

Haha, thought I’d take a peek into another metal community, see what’s going on. I saw your name and decided to give it a listen. EDIT: on Voyager you can give people tags, so your name has a green “TOP THRASHER” badge next to it haha. Makes it easier to see what you’ve posted at a glance haha. I gave a red “THRASHER” tag to some others.

I’ve been there, I feel your pain lmao.

Always interesting to hear music from other countries/cultures.

Ya, not for me but I think I can see why you like it :D .

Cheers m8!

Much appreciated! ;)

Yup…

Yeah, I can totally see how that could be an issue. You’re right, my bad. Just wondering if there is any way to truly beat censorship if this is the case?

But the point is, you have freedom to choose whatever instance and thus whatever level of moderation you want. I’m not saying censorship is impossible here, that’s just not the argument. The thing is, you aren’t locked in to the control of a specific group/owner/company. If you don’t like the way things are being run, skip to somewhere else, or alternatively make your own instance.

For people who value freedom the most, you can choose a platform with less moderation, and thereby accepting the risks that come with it. For people who value a more safe, stable and curated platform, choose one with more/stricter moderation.

Yes. The fediverse is a pretty difficult thing to be controlled by a single group: that’s sorta the idea. I see it as almost a refuge from all the bullshit. The lack of ads, tracking, content farming, censorship and control etc is refreshing. Here’s to hoping the fediverse continues to spread.

You fucking legend, beat me too it! See you back in !thrashmetal@lemmy.world ;D

When I saw them, the crowd went crazy. I’d say more so than with the others.

Yes, I agree. Not only would the proposed community be full of baseless claims etc. But also it may deter potential mods.

No problem :) . Thank YOU for posting. This can cause an interesting discussion.

Not really sure what this will achieve in the long run. Sure, some mods will up their game after being shamed… but would this not just encourage toxic behaviour? People may start shaming mods just because they may slightly disagree with them as opposed to because they are bad mods. Instead of a few bad eggs, we may end up with a chaotic community of people blasting and publicly shaming anyone with differing opinions. Is this the best way to go about this? Obviously I may be exaggerating slightly, but this is just to get across a point to consider. I know you have touched on this issue already, but another thing to consider is the potential bias of mods of this community as well. This is an interesting idea and I would also like to hear other people’s opinions on the matter.

Amazing covers.

WTF
