Average boring person from Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany. I’m running the music blog 12XU. My main fedi handle is @[email protected]. It turns out Lemmy and Kbin subscriptions don’t really work with Pleroma yet so i made this auxiliary account to keep up with the discussion.

  • Usually i’m having a hard time to pick a definitive favorite. Not this year though. It is Härvest by Poison Ruïn. An instant classic if i’ve ever heard one and something of an essential ur-text of the still developing dungeon punk genre! They weren’t the first group to attempt this but the first to really develop the aesthetic into its own, distinct and eleborate thing, impossible to just file away under some pre-existing (sub)genre.








  • Reddit has always been famous for headline readers, and it seemed more often than not, that’s all the punk subs were too. Bad Religion or the Interupters get hundreds of upvotes in minutes, likely from people who don’t even click through to listen to the music, but anything unfamiliar would get ignored, or worse, downvoted.

    Haha, i stayed clear of Reddit back when it was a thing but i can feel your pain. Getting people, even punks, to listen to anything new, unknown or niche is always an uphill battle - one i’ve too been waging for a while now with my own little place on the web. I see [email protected] as an ally in that respect. Keep up that good shit! Of all the different flavors of lemmy punk communitiy, this is the cool place to be.



  • There is a god who created the world and watches our every move and we as humans are fallen creations who can’t live up to his super holy expectations with our sinful lives. But don’t despair just yet because that holy god has set up a blood sacrifice solution involving his own son and all you have to do to not end up in eternal damnation is to believe in the blood magic of a god for which no evidence exists whatsoever outside of the ancient myths of primitive bronze age men - a god who chooses to remain hidden for some weird reason although he apparently wants to be worshipped and believed in. Easy right? Also, if your life isn’t working out quite right for some reason, that’s certainly your own fault because the lord’s blessings are very dependent on you doing those very fuzzily defined Jesus-ing activities right and you’re quite obviously doing something very wrong, have sins in your life, aren’t believing hard enough, doing it with an impure heart or whatever…

    You couldn’t make this shit up if you tried!


  • This is probably not 100% lemmy’s fault but interoperability with other branches of the fediverse could be better. For example, i can create posts and subscribe to lemmy communities from my pleroma instance but federation of posts and discussions from lemmy to pleroma is somewhere inbeteween “unreliable” and “nonexistant”, depending on the moon phase or whatever. Sorting that stuff out would be crucial for making lemmy communities a real fediverse-spanning, platform-agnostic thing.
