  • As for new things, I stumble upon them.

    Sometimes (rarely) I swap to (digital) radio, and occasionally hear songs I’m interested there. From song, I often check out the artist’s other songs too.

    Sometimes (maybe always if they show up for me?) I check out songs or genres when they come up here on Lemmy. Not that it’s been particularly successful in giving me new favorites or likes.

    I find Arte Tracks quite interesting and it makes me look up genres and music. Not that it’s been particularly successful in giving me new favorites.

    Tracks reports on geek culture, current music, film and emerging artistic forms

    YouTube Music algorithm streaming me new songs. When they stand out to me I give them a like, playlist them, and/or check out the artist. Soundcloud also has back-filling streaming modes and related songs.

    Sometimes in videos (including online, series, anime here) I hear music that stands out to me and I look up.

    As for switching up the kind of genre or platform, it’s by mood or chance.


  • Depends very much on the instances and connected instances you interact with.

    I haven’t seen it excessively or broadly in the way you describe. I’ve seen strong one-sided and often ideological or presumptuous opinions on some tech topics, which may not be deliberate or orchestrated propaganda, but kinda works the same.

    If you want to look into or try a save space, take a look at beehaw.org.

    Otherwise, I’d check your instance’s policies and whether they disconnect from certain other Lemmy instances.

    Regarding your self-perception, given your thoughtful, well-formulated, and mindful text here, I believe you that your comments were mindful and not excessively wrong or disrespectful.
