Discovered Murdo Mitchell busking in the streets of Edinburgh while visiting 🏴
We randomly stumbled upon the end of this guy’s set on the streets of Edinburgh tonight while visiting a (wee) bit of Scotland. He apparently just signed his first publishing deal 3 days ago. He was really nice, we loved his raspy voice, and one-man-orchestra setup for busking, so we bought his CD. He’s on Spotify too if you’re curious, even though I find the recordings a lot less charming than his live performance. Looking forward to seeing him in a club back in Belgium.
I’d definitely recommend just leaving them in a book box. The concept is easy: leave a book, take a book. But there’s nothing saying you can’t just leave book. Don’t have one nearby? Create one. 🥰
I know and I agree.
Funny thing: the reason I loved Apollo (and that's counter-productive for the dev.) is that I was not allowed to post without Premium. I loved that, it meant I would not feel the pressure of fighting for attention. I enjoyed being a lurker most of the time, 'cause there are some properly agressive people on that platform. I slowly started commenting less and less, avoiding arguments, voicing my opinions less, etc. It was liberating to have the "right" not to have an opinion.
It's just bit rougher to find communities around here. Everything about decentralised network is terrific, but they all have the same problem. They feel super obscure to newcomers. I had the same experience with Mastodon. But hey, I guess that means less Internet and more living life, so there's that! More platforms should keep shooting themselves in the foot, it'll do us a great service. Haha.
I wonder. I started with a kbin account, no made an account here. I removed all my Reddit accounts but one; waiting to see what happens on the 30th. I don't use it anymore, but am waiting nonetheless to see what happens, on Reddit and elsewhere. Alternatives still need a toooon of work to be usable by the masses. Please someone provide us with some good UX. I have a feeling that people who were gonna leave already left, the rest just started using the app or simply using the web version. I'm not gonna lie, whilst I'm here, I don't find the "need" / fomo to visit. I don't know if it's the content, the curation or the UI; but something takes getting used to that's for sure.
