I did consider this but despite the fact that 99% of content here was posted by me I'm still not the sole moderator and I didn't create this place initially so I went with the choice of pinning this in the hopes it is the first thing people see and it will redirect them.

Even though none of the other moderators are active in any sense of the word I also didn't want to over step in that regard and lay waste to this one.

I may still do so regardless but these were just my initial thoughts on the matter.

We have had the same issues on my main (dbzer0) which is part of what prompted me to try and fragment some of .worlds. Also like many I am a previous reddit user who left during the exodous of June 23 so centralisation of too many communities makes me nervous xD

Yes upon reviewing that post again today it isn't the best examples of the fediverse, I think I must have seen it when it was initially posted so there weren't any replies.

However that thread alone wasn't my sole basis for the decision, I'm not the biggest fan of Lemmy.world either as well as the points I mentioned before, however that thread was kind of a tipping point where I said to myself "is Lemmy.worlds divisiveness negatively impacting the amount of eyes that could be turned in this direction"

Ultimately I don't care to get into shit slinging or politics between instances, I just want the maximum possible traffic for what is already a very niche community / music genre in the hopes of fostering some kind of discourse between people on the music that we have in common.

:)

I don't have any links to hand, it was triggered by a post I saw on all yesterday, it may have been from a smaller instance as I didn't note the instance at the time of reading but I will have a proper look for a link for you later as I've just started work.

I've also been considering moving the community for a while whilst I'm still the only main poster so as to try and dilute communities and make Lemmy in general less centralised due to how many communities are hosted by .world. The longer I waited to do this the harder it may be to rebuild but as it is mostly still me posting hopefully the people who lurk will be happy to subscribe to the new community and in time hopefully it can grow into a more active place with my contributors.

This was the post I saw yesterday.

Top quality post, love to see it! Thanks man :D

Love Kaiju!

Everyday there be more! :D

Love a bit of Geode!

Sorry, I have absolutely no idea but good luck in your quest xD

Cool, thanks. I'll give it a listen a bit later on :D

I've been waiting for this to release to have a listen as I've never heard of the artist. It's pretty decent!

Aight it just!

Nice one, cheers for the link. I'm gonna give it a listen at work tomorrow!

Yeh I've been trying to branch out a little bit more rather than just solely mixing dubstep and trying to add in other things I enjoy and listen to. I haven't played around with stems etc as of right now but I have just got a new controller so I am trying to practice a new workflow and right now my mixing sounds a bit dodgy in places where I'm concentrating more on where the button I want is rather than the music xD

I currently use Traktor and I want to build up a sample deck full of clean acapellas of stuff I enjoy so it can just sit in deck 4 and I can call upon then whenever I want whilst mixing as normal with the other 3. That's the plan anyway!

https://www.mixcloud.com/mynameiszeo/

This is my mixcloud although it doesn't have any super recent mixes as I haven't uploaded since they introduced having to pay to have more than 10 mixes on there.

Ahhh yes, I do recognise this track but never knew the name chefs kiss

You got any mixes online I can check out?

My current thing I have been really enjoying is mixing in old 00s hip hop / r&b vocals into my dubstep mixes, just need to find a better source of acapellas but can't hate on some what's your fantasy or forget about dre over some sick bass lines xD

Yes! Shades release this year was decent and I love most things Alix Perez puts out but Drone is one of my absolute favourites, anything he puts out is day one buy for me!

Don't think I heard Trust though, I'll have to go check that out, thanks :D

Awesome, thanks for the recommendation, I'll give it a listen but just from the intro you'd probably dig the stuff posted over in the atmospheric bass community as well if you haven't already checked it out :)

How do you know when you have graduated from poser cause I still feel like I fit into that category xD

If you have been coming here and checking out what I post then you have probably been following it more than you realise as I try to post 2 things a day and it will always be new releases until I run out them and then I dip into older stuff I know :D

Thanks for dropping by either way, do you have a favourite regardless of release?

Lovely chill tune from Sepia!

No worries, ALXZNDR has a lot of good stuff IMO :)

I enjoyed this whole release :D
