Lemmy has Reddit's political bias on roids and ever since the blackout migration Lemmy has many of Reddit's more power mad mods as active users. Those were what put a damper on it for me. Decentralization is great but Lemmy's version of it with Federation is more like a bunch of little fiefdoms run by admins that can be worse than some of the mods. It'a a fine enough place to have as like a side place to visit but I could not see it as a number one hangout.
But yeah there's a lot of Reddit Alternative folks who think just because Lemmy has decent user numbers it can be the Reddit killer but I don't see it happening.
Coolness. Welcome to the nuthouse <(@_@)> the orderlies here are friendly, don't mind the hallucinations that's just /u/Gaystation spiking our daily meds. Seriously tho, it's cool that you dig the site, you've been making some good posts as well which is awesome. How'd you find this place btw?
Takes guts to admit Nickelback was your first heavy music. I liked one Nickelback song: Leader of Men because that was around the time I was teaching myself guitar and it was super easy to play.
My first taste of heavy music would be like (carbon dating myself here) 1984, first time I saw Motley Crue - Looks That Kill. I had just become fascinated with the occult after finding, at my local library, books on witchcraft and esotericism. So when this MC video with pentagrams on their double bass drums came out right in the middle of the 80's Satanic Panic it was like yessss give me more delicious rebelion!
I was a little kid though, 0 money and the fam wouldn't even buy me black clothes let alone metal records. I went back to my rap stuff, occasionally digging a heavy song I'd see on MTV. Wasn't until Grunge that my love for heavy music fully resurfaced. High school years. I remember being in my grandmother's room watching her tv when the video for Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit was played for the first time and changed my whole life. I rocked out with the tv blasting and the love for heavy music came rushing back. Only now I could get a job and buy my own music and clothes and eventually a cheapo Squier guitar on which I taught myself Smells Like Teen Spirt and then it was off to the races.
A friend I met at work (Halloween Store) was this gutter punk kid and we made a horrible band with no name who played one VFW Hall show for a bunch of skinheads who booed us because I'm Black. We won them over by announcing our name was "KK Kenny and The Nigger Lovers" (my idea, got em to stop throwing cans at us). We had three songs that were like a minute each and we made up the rest of our set on the fly. Just barely organized noise. It got so roudy the cops busted up the show. So now I was into punk, then Goth, then some mainstream Metal. Then a friend introduced me to Death Metal and it Blew. My. Goddamn. Mind. Yeah so that's the evolution of my love for heavy music.
