I've stopped going on reddit almost completely, i basically only log in when somebody here posts a link, spread some upvotes and downvotes and log out again. I have no idea if that even does anything or if my account has a vote shadowban for being a former chapo poster. So i don't do that regularly.
I'm kinda tempted to make a new account for some really specific hobby related stuff where i just can't get a discussion going here because the hexbear community is too small to have, say, a sizeable number of people interested in making experimental ambient music, but then i always think "i don't want to discuss the kind of drones that come out of my pedalboard with people who defend the kind of drones that bomb the middle east."
My account has needed a password change for the past 2 years, so i can't even upvote on there. I just use it to scroll through squaredcircle and various other subs.
Also, someone should make a gear thread in the music branch. I'm pretty sure there'd be a lot of people wanting to post about that kind of stuff in there.
I'd love gear discussion on here. I come across a lot of interesting stuff online, but youtube gear reviews have so many caveats about sponsored content attached to them, and the communities centered around gear usually aim at well-off people showing off stuff that's just not affordable for me. Even if it's used, vintage gear, discussing it on large platforms always feeds into a cycle of driving up prices.
Sometimes i like to go to r/breadtube, type "China" into the search bar, and just let my soul hollow out.
