I’m aware it has no concept of artistic quality. But I also don’t care about the quality of music, especially if perceived by some journalist. I only care if I like music. Some of it is intricately composed, masterfully performed. Some is pop, or generic/simple house.

The concept of artistic quality is simply subjective. I don’t think intricately composed music or complex music make a song artistically better. To me a quality song artistically song is simply and enjoyable and impactful song. My definition of impactful is wide too it make me a song with really serious subject matter or simply a funny simple song that could me feel better mentally .

While i enjoy an journalist talking about a song and album it doesn’t mean i will trust his opinion but i prefer that than an non human telling me what it think is music i would enjoy. Someone may talk negatively about a music and explain why he hate it and i may find the think he hated is what will make me enjoy the song he dislike

I have discovered entire genres with the algorithms you seem to think only give narrowing recommendations. Some people probably listened to those and something I liked.

I read Bandcamp daily to know about some obscure genre . It is again just my preference, i will always prefer human recommendation

Let me repeat again: I have discovered many, many artists for me that I literally would have no realistic chance of every hearing about in any other way. Ever!

Same but without relying on an algorithm

I am just expressing the other perspective. Not telling you to have the same

An algorithm has zero concept of artistic quality . I also want to always extends my taste and not the opposite

Discovering things via “press” isn’t free either, it takes time to read the articles, buy the magazines

I don’t know about you but this is so fun for me it bring me joy and fulfillment as opposed to being fed by algorithm

I want to find new music. This is fundamentally impossible with the music I own.

You can simply visit the artist page on lastfm and see related artists . On Bandcamp when i buy an album i want visit the profile on the people who buy the same item . There is really many way to discover artists without spotify when you think about it

It is a lot more fun to discover artists yourself. Browsing a list of album covers and enjoy them, read short description of the album and artist then listen to the music. You also feel the send of fulfillement becausw the process becomes a personal adventure rather than a passive experience

Only dictators get praised like that

There was a fool who used a bot on my post and the mod did it job and rrmove the comments and the bots

We are neither as popular as huawei and neither chinese. We will be fine

Seems like nobody cares about pixelfed here

Naming the country never ever meant the population but the leadership

Why nobody talk about full portability. If pixelfed allow transfering posts from IG to pixelfed. Why can’t migratecour posts too?

I just use my local music player musicolet. Never going to switch unless another player alñow resuming last songs of any playlist

There is too much obsessions about making everything fediverse compatible even when it doesn’t make any sense

I didn’t say that our Zionists should be sent to Israel. Anybody who harass jews in Canada face repercussions when found so there is no reason to believe that European or Canadian jews are fleeing to Israel because they no longer feel safe, in Israel they would experience constant feel of unsafety due to rockets . As opposed to anti occupation who are not involved are accused of being antisemite while people doing illegal stuffs like selling lands in occupied territories face zero repercussions.

No, that doesn’t make you point. Canada should definitely intervene and punish orgs that sell occupied lands to Canadian Zionists. Which law allow them to do this terrible immoral thing?

There no Zionist orgs in Canadian terrorism list showing the double standard

In Canada at least they don’t get to go around doing pogroms on Palestinians.

Canada didn’t intervene when Zionist organizations went selling Palestinians land in the west bank in synagogues

I am also from Montreal. Violence against both jews and Muslims increased after 7 of Octobers. All groups should be protected, it also feel like jews safety are more important than anybody else rather than being as important as protecting other groups. Many Montreal Zionists get outraged by anything related to Palestine it’s so ridiculous , like some orgs raising money for Palestinians with bakery sale get flooded by Zionists talking about how that money will go to Hamas. NDG NPD candidate in the previous election was also accused of supporting hamas, this is a really serious accusation

Nobody has giving up on israel unfortunatly. Countries still buy and sell military equipement to israel and refuse to sanction the state of israel itself

People are smart enough to don’t knock palestinians liberation mouvement over some extremists. It’s anti palestine occupation and genocide who are generally facing repercusion for being vocal about it not the opposite like you claiming. Israel and zionists are thr biggest promoter of antisemitism they want to portray anti zionism as antisemitism so when someone see idf terrorists murdering kids they start to devlop hate toward jews in general
