Yeah for some reason I find it easier to avoid infinite scroll with FB than reddit! I know, that’s like mentioning Voldemoort round here.
Not sure if any Lemmy-ers still use reddit, they fucked it again (removed /all). It’s rapidly turning into a copy of meta, feeds are now curated by algo rather than votes :(
I write a few different styles, been writing big beat for a couple of years now and trying to do it as independently as possible. But still needs promoting online, hence social media ugh.
Nobody said that doing the right thing would be easy. It rarely is. But I’d rather die doing the right thing, than live being part of the wrong thing. 🏳️🌈✊
Thanks for the links, will check them all out. But from a brief squizz at the bbc link… can I just point out that these are all VERY established artists, with established fanbases. None of these will be interacting with people online anyway, already using a social media manager to do all their posts etc.
There’s no point making music that nobody knows exist, and unfortunately streaming / social media are the main avenues for reaching new fans these days.
Some of us have no choice. If I don’t have social media, record labels won’t sign my music. I cannot afford to pay someone else to maintain it for me.
Yeah ok but you’re not scrolling your wall for hours a day, right?
