MODERATORS
 

I left /c/Risa because the moderator there was letting his own personal feelings color rules, removing posts that violated no clearly written rules, and creating new rules without even running it past the community or asking how they feel about it.

The moderator of this community is guilty of that same behavior.

I'll be over on !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works.

I can't even begin to imagine someone making me a playlist that I'd consider "really good". I hardly can create that for myself

I think that playlist making is a skill. I used to be bad at it, but when I was real depressed, I got frustrated because I was listening to much sad music that a single blob playlist was insufficient for my despair. "Autodefenestration" (throwing oneself out of a window) and "L'appel du vide" (french for "the call of the void") felt like distinct vibes, and playlists were the way I articulated that.

To be clear, I'm aware of how ridiculous and pretentious this sounds, I know I certainly laugh at that aspect of my depression. But legit, I threw time into playlist making when I was too depressed to do much else with my time, and I ended up becoming someone who was good at making playlists
