Back to being annoyed at Spotify so I guess this blog will serve as a monument to the short time I tolerated it.

Pandora links don't work.

I will always miss Grooveshark.

i do feel a bit left out every year people are sharing shit from spotify wrapped but i think that's probably better than the actual experience of using spotify so whatever

!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

i keep seeing this on my dash and like im sure its probably cool and all but both of those tweets feel like they were made specifically to fight back against all of those posts going around saying things like "if genocide joe is using our tax dollars to fund israels massacre of Palestine then 2024 will be the year of no americans paying taxes!"

like its worded in a way to give the vibe of "look how hard your president joe biden fought on your behalf against the evil awful turbo tax (who was trying to take your money for selfish gain!!) to give you the FREEDOM of paying your taxes in a CONVENIENT way like GOOD AMERICANS!!! now make sure you all PAY YOUR TAXES THIS YEAR SPECIFICALLY so the irs knows yall like convenience and we dont accidentally take this cool tool away from you ^^"

like maybe im paranoid here and you for sure should be taking what im saying with a large grain of salt but this post from JohnGreenburg27 (former business major, has former work experience in human capital, management information systems, and marketing, seems to spend all his time sucking joe biden off on twitter for how hes been handling the israel palestine conflict, etc) and secretary of the treasury janet yellen (self explanatory) doesnt sit super well with me for some reason.

💫 Join the Fediverse! 💫

Greetings, fellow bloggers! We welcome you to join us in discovering, honoring, and promoting the potential future of social networking—commonly referred to as the "Fediverse."

The Fediverse, or Federation Universe, refers to a collective of online platforms that utilize the web protocol known as ActivityPub, which has set a standard of excellence in regards to both protecting and respecting users' online privacies.

There's a good chance in the past few years that you've caught wind of the fedi family's critically acclaimed Mastodon; however, there are many other unique platforms worth your consideration...

✨ Where To Begin?

Conveniently enough, from the minds of brilliant independent developers, there already likely exists a Fediverse equivalent to your favorite socials. Whether it's an opinion from the critics, or from the community alike—the following popular websites are commonly associated with one another:

Friendica 🐰 = Facebook Mastodon 🐘 = Twitter Pixelfed 🐼 = Instagram PeerTube 🐙 = YouTube Lemmy 🐭 = Reddit

It's worth mentioning, too, a few other sites and forks thereof that are worthy counterparts, which be: Pleroma 🦊 & Misskey 🐱, microblogs also similar to Twitter/Mastodon. Funkwhale 🐋 is a self-hosting audio streamer, which pays homage to the once-popular GrooveShark. For power users, Hubzilla 🐨 makes a great choice (alongside Friendica) when choosing macroblogging alternatives.

✨ To Be Clear...

To address the technicalities: aside from the "definitive" Fediverse clients, we will also be incorporating any platforms that utilize ActivityPub-adjacent protocols as well. These include, but are not limited to: diaspora*; AT Protocol (Bluesky 🦋); Nostr; OStatus; Matrix; Zot; etc. We will NOT be incorporating any decentralized sites that are either questionably or proven to be unethical. (AKA: Gab has been exiled.)

✨ Why Your Privacy Matters

You may ask yourself, as we once did, "Why does protecting my online privacy truly matter?" While it may seem innocent enough on the surface, would it change your mind that it's been officially shared by former corporate media employees that data is more valuable than money to these companies? Outside of the ethical concerns surrounding these concepts, there are many other reasons why protecting your data is critical, be it: security breaches which jeopardize your financial info and risk identity theft; continuing to feed algorithms which use psychological manipulation in attempts to sell you products; the risk of spyware hacking your webcams and microphones when you least expect it; amongst countless other possibilities that can and do happen to individuals on a constant basis. We wish it could all just be written off as a conspiracy... but, with a little research, you'll swiftly realize the validity of these claims are not to be ignored any longer. The solution? Taking the decentralized route.

✨ Our Mission For This Blog

Our mission for establishing this blog includes 3 core elements:

To serve as a hub which anybody can access in order to assist themselves in either: becoming a part of the Fediverse, gaining the resources/knowledge to convince others to do the very same, and providing updates on anything Fedi-related.

We are determined to do anything within our power to prevent what the future of the Internet could become if active social users continue tossing away their data, all while technologies are advancing at faster rates with each passing year. Basically we'd prefer not to live in a cyber-Dystopia at all costs.

Tumblr (Automattic) has expressed interest in switching their servers over to ActivityPub after Musk's acquisition of then-Twitter, and are officially in the transitional process of making this happen for all of us. We're hoping our collective efforts may at some point be recognized by @staff, which in turn will encourage their efforts and stand by their decision.

With that being stated, we hope you decide to follow us here, and decide to make the shift—as it is merely the beginning. We encourage you to send us any questions you may have, any personal suggestions, or corrections on any misinformation you may come across.

From the Tender Hearts of, ✨💞 @disease & @faggotfungus 💞✨

i think i'm the only tumblr user that fiercely hated 8tracks and do not miss it even a little bit i just cannot relate to the nostalgia. anybody in this thread remember grooveshark

[zsofiarosebud]

Ups case me esquecera disto. Grazas @eume pola tag dun tag game destes :3

Como sempre, teño que facer un pouquichiño de trampiña anotando o que vou escoitando porque non teño unha librería de Spoty nin similar (acho de menos grooveshark)

Tagging @jar-jar-ate @queixumes e @pialfa801 :)

I'm going down a rabbit hole of revisiting some of my favorite indie tracks from ~2013, and fuck I wish I had a time machine. it was so hard to find indie music back then, but I feel like it's so much harder to refind many of those indie tracks now, especially since I barely remember some of the lyrics.

if only I could recover my old grooveshark playlists.

[madeofnebulas]

woah i didnt realize until i saw the full line written out in your tag, your url is based off vienna teng?? never look away!!!! i love that song i cant believe i never put it together. is that your favourite of hers?

Yeah that's where it's from! I really like that line for being both poetic and literally true. Never look away is a bop, it's not my top fave though. I really like anna rose, now three, house, and her covers of abound and in the creases (there's a studio version of this, i heard it on grooveshark when that was a thing, but i only found a live version on youtube). And a bunch of others, but not quite as much at the moment. If i had to pick a favorite favorite then idk, maybe anna rose?

One of the biggest casualties of the mid to late 2010s internet becoming a serious button up operation was music sharing sites that operated on the very fucking knife edge of legality. RIP Grooveshark & This is My Jam specifically
