Not sure if this counts as "obscure", but one of my favorite songs is Itte by Yorushika. Not only is it a bop, but the lyrics are surprisingly melancholic and dark for such an upbeat song.

As for a band I think is criminally underrated, perhaps check out Evening Light by Vansire.

Unfortunately I'm cursed with a preference for opt-out (all + block lists) post filtering rather than opt-in (subscriptions). I realize this causes issues that are entirely on me, but especially with Lemmy being so small, I like to cast as wide a net as I can.

Normally I would agree 100%. I'm specifically more harsh here just because I find the ratio to be so off.

Good question, I suppose I'm being negative about negativity.

Honestly, feel free to downvote, you have my blessing lol.

Yes.

Downvoting isn't "negativity", it's a method for users to define what does and does not contribute to the content of the platform. By downvoting this content, I'm voicing my opinion that negativity is overrepresented on Lemmy, and encouraging (however slightly) more positive content to be posted.

Yeah, the doomposting is intense on Lemmy. I've taken up a policy of just downvoting any negative posts I see, even if I like the post otherwise, just to tamp down the negativity a bit around here.

The best and worst thing about Lemmy is how niche we are. It keeps out the "mainstream", but unfortunately we're easily inundated by perpetually-online doomers.

Also, I would recommend blocking users moreso than communities. Once you start looking for it, you realize that like 90% of these posts are made by just a few people/bots.

Damn it, we lost him again. You win this time, Froggo, but one day you'll pay for what you've done.

Man I gotta go back and play Golden Axe again.

I had it running on Windows (no container) a while back. Wasn't particularly difficult at that time, at least.

Can't give any advice here though, since all we've been given to work with is an OS.

Other than the double negative on that one question, I don't really see what makes this survey "crappy"? Pretty standard stuff.

These things are so frustrating, because it's so clearly inevitable, but so many people always insist it won't happen. Again and again.
