One of my favorite parts about reddit is people will always be there to call out your BS, whether it be via downvotes or a comment. I always appreciated that because more times than not, they will tell them they’re wrong and explain why, sometimes even with sources. A lot of the time, they redirect people to better sources of information, like a telegram group about a custom android rom

Of course, this isn’t true 100% of the time, not even downvoted comment is wrong - like the other person commented, it’s fair to take it with a grain of salt

That’s why my solution for this is to research a topic EXTENSIVELY by reading tons of threads and comments about it, put them all together in my head and consider them all, and then decide on the best outcome/answer based on all the research combined. That way, I don’t just rely on 1 person’s response and hope they’re right. For most things though, them being wrong might not even make a huge negative impact

I’ve found that Redditors also generally have our backs - they warn us about stuff to do or not to do, that companies don’t warn us about because it would otherwise profit them

I’ve been on the fence about wiping my account as well. It’s just hard for me - my history, wholesome interaction with users, friends made, how many people I’ve helped, I’ve written a few guides. Man it just sucks. (the largest guide I’ve written, for Vindictus, is partially outdated, but also I put in sooooooo much effort into it and I’m really proud of it. maybe I’ll download and save as a .doc or something)

I think I just need to hear someone’s stance on it, hear their points, and be persuaded

I also need to figure out -when- to do that if I end up doing it. I assume before the 30th, but I’m not sure if some have started doing it already, and why

Yeah like I honestly had no idea! I thought it was just like screamo but with some more tune and less screamy, but a lot of it I’m really enjoying a lot!

I haven’t looked into Tool yet, I know of it, but I’ll give it a listen! I’m a sucker for blasting Beast in Black going home on the garden state parkway lmao

Edit: Checked out Tool, sounds good, but maybe not as “hype” as what I’m looking for? I just searched for a community “best of” playlist. Found Schism, which I remember from playing guitar hero lol

I do as well. At least the threads I’ve read through, most of the time reddit was pretty good about downvoting the shit out of a comment that has misinformation or the user is being a dbag (racist, sexist, unnecessarily negative, etc) which was one of my favorite things. I could always count on users to call out those types of comments. It made searching for answers and information so easy and also amusing

Sometimes I would run across a comment that just downvoted purely for their opinion, which was one of the problems it had, but in my opinion (10+ years on reddit), it doesn’t seem nearly as often as people claim

To answer the thread: I like it, I use Jeroba for Android but I’m a long time user of reddit boost which I think is way ahead. I’m not a fan of the website yet but I just think it’s a little confusing

Reddit refugee - So I think I might be considered a baby metal head, though I just started getting into this genre. I’m guessing that what I’ve been listening to is more “light metal” but I have no idea

I had never listened to metal before and always though it was too screamy, but I let youtube music autoplay do it’s thing, and it has somehow played some songs that I genuinely really, really dig

It started by playing me Sabaton, but I’ve somehow veered towards artists like Beast in Black - it seems more melodic?

Some of my favorites so far are:

• They Don’t Care About Us by Beast in Black (I know is based on Michael Jackson’s)
• No Surrender by Beast in Black
• Sweet True Lies by Beast in Black
• My Dystopia by Beast in Black
• Presence of Mind by Dynazty
• Heartless Madness by Dynazty
• Fly Away by GloryHammer
• Night of the Werewolves by Unleash the Archers

I’m not sure why, but I think I’ve seen some judgments against people who listen to these bands. Maybe they’re overrated or not the real deal or the stereotypical “starter metal bands”? Either way, as a musician (Violist in orchestras) I love how these songs have a tune to them and are melodic. I tend to veer away if it’s too monotone or screamy, but I’m open to more suggestions :)
