I want a space that's made just for posts from leftist tiktoks, or videos that fit the rough format and time length of these.

I might be willing to mod it and throw a video at it once a day or so. It's not like this content will literally ever dry up.

Mainly I want to find more things to follow that might not necessarily be recommended to me by the algo but might be recommend to someone else by their algo and I think that necessarily needs a space that's NOT tiktok to find that in.

Also tiktok comments kinda suck and directing more hexbears into them might be good.

You're not kidding, half the comments on any recent video about Madeline Pendleton being 100% right about DNC astroturfing on TikTok is "But they deny the lived experience of Yeonmi Park when they say that the average Westerner's beliefs about the DPRK are 90% based on CIA backed south Korean tabloids."

my tiktok feed is 50% people explaining theory and it's weird coming from a heavily capitalist platform.

how did you manage to evade the algorithms?

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I haven't evaded. I just know that there's more out there and that each person gets a slightly different algo so there's stuff we're all collectively missing out on.

I haven’t evaded...

it's social media so you're under no obligation to respond; but thank you for doing so nonetheless.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think I fully understand what's being said here, but thanks? The prior comment mentioned the evasion. I respond to almost everything unless I have very little to say, it's all a chat room the point is kinda to chat. The soapboxing reddit nerd shit where people reply to you but they're not really speaking to you but rather the audience of readers is what bothers me about that site's culture the most so I constantly try not to be that.

Oh yeah? What's your favorite band smuglord

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Daft Punk probably. But that's not what I've been listening to the most recently, I'm not sure if I should risk posting about that though as the volcel police will judge me.

Ayy, interesting. I don't think I've ever listened to any Daft Punk.

Do not fear the volcel police, they're just for looks

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

My favourites are Voyager and Something About Us

I fear being judged because like... I have a thing for techno/bass/edm background music that is also extremely horny in terms of lyrics or rhythm (yes a rhythm can be horny all by itself) and I will definitely be judged for some of it lol

[–] BlackDragon@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Archive.org links to music, hey, that's a new one to me. Nice.

Thanks for sharing, it is a little bit too background music for me I think. I'm the kind of person who listens to music occasionally as like a whole activity of its own. Other than that I prefer complete silence (or as complete as the silence gets with tinnitus).

Now I'm curious though, because I'm not sure I've ever heard a rhythm I could call horny. I'll call in a tragic accident at the donut shop to distract the bunny-cop so let's hear it

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Alright I'll risk it...

Ok so on the low end you've got stuff like Lone Digger, which by itself most people probably won't question too hard because it rides the line between mainstream and acceptable. But the rhythm is dirty. Extremely dirty. This music is someone running their hand lightly over your skin foreplay.

(CW gaza strip lyric that's kinda insensitive) Then there's stuff like Absolute Territory, which is dirty lyrically but still not too bad for people here to start saying "woaaaah you can't post that here". It's horny, just brazenly horny, brazenly flirty, brazenly check me out I want to get down music. The beat in this, that pulsing bass, is also seedy as fuck, like a dirty snooker room filled with cigar smoke.

Then we step up a bit and we're in just blatant "this is a song for sex" with something like Overclocked

And then combine the two but make the lyrics even more obscene and the music even more about sex How Would You Like It

Now sort of mix it all together into playlist of many things of that sort and you've got what I like to play as general background music.... A lot of this stuff is usually Industrial Goth but I've left those out because they're all sort of tend to blur together. Needless to say a lot of my taste lies in the realm of "can't share with people normally", which also makes finding things like it sort of hard because others don't talk about it either.

I'm definitely getting arrested for this post.

[–] BlackDragon@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, this has been a fun dive into genres of music I'm not very familiar with. What I've learned is that I have no idea what horny sounds like, because aside from some of the lyrics (or music video in one case) it pretty much just sounds like music to me. I'm curious how you mean horny exactly. Like is the music itself arousing or erotic somehow? Or does it sound like something that would be playing in an erotic situation and thus leads your mind that direction by association (which could then kind of become the first I guess). I don't know, too volcel to know about all that I guess.

I like the first one though!

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Like is the music itself arousing or erotic somehow?

Sometimes? Mostly it's a mood, a tone, a level of dirtyness.

Like, if I asked you what's the mood of a fantasy village town? You'd probably say something that sounds like spring and birds and flowers and a gentle breeze. But in musical terms what is that? You know it when you hear it but it's probably something using whistles and strings.

Similarly if I said "music that's hopeful" you might think of some of the sovietwave space music. These songs say "I have a dream" to me, a vision, a goal for humanity. They inspire a mood.

But for seedy sex music? It's a rhythm. It's a type of bass. It's a beat. One that says "this is naughty". They're dirty, they have a dirty beat. And I for whatever reason just really jive with that as background music.

I'M IN THIS DEEP SO I may as well throw a few more out there while I'm at it.

Nope, never heard them. The algo is shit at understanding this kind of music I think because it mixes it up with all the other kinds of musics people also like when they're not in the mood for it. I like them though! Saved.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

These kind of songs are like land mines in house music playlists lol, not that I dislike them it's just funny when a list goes from like two hours of chill vibes to the filthiest fucking bassline ever

What are you talking about?

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why not post those to videos?

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

There's nothing wrong with doing that but a dedicated space prompts people for specific content types and is more likely to actually get people posting them simply by existing.

Consider for example that there's nothing stopping people posting the content that used to belong in Dunk_Tank into ChapoTrapHouse or whatever. But people don't want to do that. They want a dedicated space for it. Existence of dedicated spaces simply encourages much more of the content to exist.
