    Hello and welcome! I didn’t see a couple things mentioned that I thought were very helpful to me with the instance choosing, so I just wanted to pass it along…

    If you look at your account kinda like an email, all the emails can communicate with each other, just like the instances can communicate. Though, an instance can also block another so thay it can not be seen/interacted with. Like, gmail deciding they will no longer accept yahoomail, for example.

    .ml has been blocked by a variety of others, so you may be missing out on some interests elsewhere, that you would enjoy.

    I use an app and have a few different accounts, the app lets me just swap my sign in profiles back and forth as I like. Sometimes a server goes down or an update goes bad. Having another account let’s you check in on the action, on those who are still up and running while the other gets worked on. You can even use the same name, your @ will just change.

    Initial sign up is roughest step really… but not much harder than grabbing a new email!

    OK, that was more than a couple, hopefully something was helpful though and helps your experience here!

    I came back here to see if there were new additions, since I came across the post early on. I also really enjoy funk, with a favorite being Primus, well, anything Les Claypool really (His stuff with Sean Lennon, much more …trippy rock?, with Claypool Lennon Delirium, still excellent). They are a really heavy lil corner of the funk/rock spectrum though.

    I am def going to check out some bubblegum funk now, it sounds like it should be an opposite spectrum sound experience!

    So, thank you for allowing me to suckle on your presence a bit?

    It’s in Tempe, which is a college town and usually a lot more “variety of ideas friendly” area. It’s a big ass state, not gone down the rabbit hole of how gerrymandered we might be, but I’m listed in a town by address that is nowhere near where my “local” library, grocery, etc which is another town.

    There is a lot of wild west expanse and geriatric retirement that keeps a red hold, Tempe isn’t far from Phoenix downtown where I went to a fucking awesome Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, The Linda Linda’s concert last week. I was quite impressed at the the number of both old and young punks that showed up and packed the place! Openly anti trump remarks through the show… not too many left early even, despite the traffic… hmmm…

    And, this shit was done overnight, who the hell did they think they might get, janitorial staff? Random underpaid security guard? What fucking dickbags man. Random violence is bad, putting people just doing their jobs, regardless of political affiliation, is just really poor form.

    I saw the negativity points to your remark, which should generally be “well yeah… it’s the wild red west?!” Thought some of this may shed a light on that response?

    (And, wanted to squeeze in that my old ass stayed up for a whole Green Day show, on a school night!)

    Edit: btw, I live in bfe, no way in hell am I putting on a bumper sticker or a sign in my yard. Out of town, there’s lots of crazies with guns. Edit, edit: fixed a, guess half of a sentence got typed… elsewhere?
