That was actually fun to listen to. I like the vibe.
I think we need to make the different approach a bit friendlier though. Like on Reddit you start with default communities, you add ones you like, you remove ones you don’t, and /all is trash. On Lemmy, I browse /all, and I block what I don’t like. It’s not bad to block. It just means you never wanna see it. We don’t all want to see the same things. I, for one, don’t care for memes. I don’t think they shouldn’t exist, I just… don’t get anything out of them. So I block meme communities. It’s nothing against the people though. I enjoy communities where people say more and post fewer images.
Hey man… I just get bored sometimes. What can I say?
Stamets, you’re cool and I was stoked when I saw you move here for your home instance. This is real well done!
My only constructive feedback is that I found the music to sonically obscure the voice-over. Though full disclosure, I seem to have some minor processing disorder related to pulling spoken voices out of background noise, so might just be me.
Thanks <3
Maybe this version will work a little bit better? Different song and the audio is balanced a bit differently. Was the first version. I had a second too which I ended up hating after putting it together. I like my funk music too much.
Oh nice, yeah this was a lot easier. Plus I mean, yazz flute…
Yeah, after listening to both together I really see your point. I messed up the audio balancing on the posted one a little bit and it’s way harder to distinguish the two. Sorry about that <3
I’ve gotta go listen to some more funk music now though.
No sweat! Audio mixing is not trivial, it came out great.
How many years did you spend as the host of a morning radio show? That’s too damn practiced, I was waiting for the “Only on WKZ 105.9, your only home for rock!”
Exactly zero lol but thank you <3 I did always want to be on the radio as a kid.
As a European who’s been to the US, this is what all stations sounded like. Bonus points if you add sharp and needlessly excessive sound effects.
car crash
fart noise
blaring klaxon
35 pounds of glass breaking
… in basically in any order or context, to open, close or punctuate any message.
Basically this
there it is, yep, thats what I was thinking of!
Any promotion is good !
Kevin, our beloved.
that was fun, stamets you sound cool
I try my best <3
Considering your username, you might find this interesting. I grew up in an area with a ton of Humpback whales and used to go kayaking around them. They’re so fuckin’ cool.
Come for the memes, stay for the humans behind them
Ironically, this is a pro AI instance, so unfortunately not all memes have humans behind them
There’s always a human behind them, even if they’re using a GenAI instead of Photoshop. Not to mention that we have a rule about marking GenAI posts.
Good rule, but I don’t see it in the instance description, Golden Rules, or Anarchist Code of Conduct, where can I find it?
Or am I just blind
I just unsubscribe from dbzer0 communities that I don’t like. I’ve been a dbzer0 user for a while and am super happy with it so far.
Thanks for sharing the great audio clip!
This is awesome! I’m happy to have a fun little ad.
We appreciate your application to join us here at db0 Stamets but we regret to inform you we’re going with the Star Wars guy over there.
Have a great day!

This is great. Unironically the first “ad” that made me say “fuck yeah!” in my life
Wait, who’s voice is this? @stamets or @db0?
Either way, it’s the first ad I would allow.
Mine. Hellooooo

Holy shit, thats… thats some of the best marketing/writing/production value that I’ve heard for literally anything, in probably a decade.
Damn.
Well, I mean… I… also block ads so religiously I’ve considered whether or not I could form an actual, formally US recognized religion based on the idea, but still.
The only possible thing I could offer to maybe add is just a sign off ‘it really whips the llama’s ass’, … not sure if thats still or ever was trademarked, also not sure if I care.
Either way, damn good work!
A Wesley Willis sign-off fits right in here, hell yeah! Legend.
Fuck, how embarassing does it have to be for most radio commercials to be matched by a dude with audacity, royalty free music and (I’m not kidding) 28 minutes worth of time between writing/recording/editing?
Oh, immensely embarassing.
Problem of course is most US DJs seem to literally lack both self-awareness and also the capacity to experience shame, so…
…it kind of horseshoes around back to them just thinking you’re the stupid one actually, because you don’t have as many listeners or know someone personally that they do.
Now that I think of it, radio djs and most talkshows are literally prime candidates for replacing with AI.
And oh holy fuck do not even get me started on how sports commentators are the masters of filling time with literally meaningless babble, they’re masters of pathos and ethos, but almost nothing they say bares any resemblance to a logically evaluatable claim.
But yeah, I too can just drop into a ‘golden radio voice’ at the flick of a switch, figured out how to do it basically right after my vocal cords stopped changing from puberty… but there’s no point other than using it to make a joke, basically?
Autism = tonal analysis capability + practice = voice actor, I guess?
Nice voice dude :3
You could do radio!
I would love to ditch .world , but the db0 community has a ton of alt accounts of .ml and hexbear users, and also the admins rub me the wrong way. There’s clear narratives they use their space to reinforce instead of allowing dissent.
I would love to ditch .world , but the db0 community has a ton of alt accounts of .ml and hexbear users,
Just to clarify, the db0 admins rub you the wrong way (I do not personally care for all of them) and strike you as quashing dissent enough to not move over from .world, but the .world admins don’t bother you or push narratives enough to warrant leaving?
I expect .world to feel like the detached and uncaring tone of reddit.
I don’t expect it from other spaces, which is why I set my expectations higher than reddit mod behavior for the other spaces.
I’m now somehow more confused.
You’re on lemmy.world because you expect the same admins as reddit so they get a pass but everyone else gets criticized for the same behavior while claiming something about the users that you haven’t proven?
None of this makes sense to me.
Glad someone else called her out on this. Thank you.
I agree with a lot of her a lot of the time but it’s odd how she can excuse .world supporting a Zionist racist power tripping bastard supported by their admin team. But db0 calls them out and somehow we’re all alts, or whatever.
All because she was banned on one community for being needlessly rude.
That was delightful, thanks for brightening my day a bit 🙂
This makes me proud of being part of dbzer0.
