Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes
papertowels@mander.xyz 1 day agoI was addressing this part of what you said:
Even if you have a vast collection of music you don’t know (by whatever means your get it), you still need the algorithms to pick the music that you’re likely to like.

Ah ok that part wasn’t clear to me, sorry (maybe quote it if you’re reffering to a small part of a comment?). Yes, it would work for that, but I don’t have that collection. I could sail the high seas, but that kinda defeats the purpose of wanting artists to get paid and rather hypocritical. At least they do get paid (even if poorly) using Spotify. So somehow getting to the point where that would work for discovering new-to-me music and that also doesn’t screw over artists seems hard, unless I’m missing something?
No worries, I don’t pay attention to votes anyway. Doesn’t matter on Lemmy (esp. on comments) unless you’re talking about visibility, which doesn’t do anything on a comment chain like this one either…

Yup, I don’t have an entire solution, just wanted to share a potential piece of the puzzle. I could’ve made that more clear as you pointed out
Generally, on Lemmy if I get a single downvote within seconds of a negative reply it gives me the impression that whoever I’m talking to us an emotionally stunted toddler who can’t use their words to adequately describe their thoughts and need to do the digital version of throwing a fit. It gives some additional context on how to engage (or not) lol.
