Official Title of this Community: Ethnic Minorities and People of Color

Why is the title different?

We like to have fun here.

What is this place? A safe space for underrepresented peoples and peoples of color to talk, chill, and vibe.

What are the basic rules of the community?

  1. Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.

  2. This community is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This is a safe space where such people can freely discuss their struggles, insight, and thoughts without fear. If you are not, we respectfully ask you do not post or comment here. A future community will be established to allow for racial discussions with a mixed userbase. However, remember, comments here must still respect Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines.

  3. Irony Racism is still racism. Racism is bad m'kay? We will treat irony racism and bad faith racist satire as racism. Will wield the ban hammer accordingly.

  4. No sectarianism: This is an identity channel not a channel for you all to complain about why XYZ isn't the "one true leftism". Take that to another place.

  5. Stupidpol is not allowed. Stupidpol is class reductionist. We are an identity community. Thinking like stupidpol ignores the struggles of the oppressed, their voices, and their need for unique support. Nothing says oppression more than someone saying that the identity you have is "not real" and that if you only thought like them you'd see what your "real" identity is. Mods reserve the right to ban users and content who promote stupidpol, stupidpol memes, and other class reductionist thinking.

FAQ

I don't look XYZ and/or sometimes I can pass as white so I don't know if I can post here. Can I?

What can I post?

Wonder if anyone else has a familiar nickname that's way off from their legal name. I quite like mine and have been having my close friends use it. It's probably the closest to a true name I got since internally I use it when talking to myselfs. It tends to be odd to my white friends but idk sometimes it hard to explain to them

Same. Except, my nickname is based off my legal name but people who don't speak the language wouldn't know this. I've been told they thought I just decided to pick a totally different name because it sounded cooler. Haha

Fr my white friends here my legal name and can't connect the dots, my mom has a cooler one goes by Maria but for some reason her family call her kooka I think that's how you spell it

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Kuka? Is she Puerto Rican? I knew an older Puerto Rican lady named Kuka.

Please feel free not to answer to avoid doxxing though.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Extremely common to have several depending on context. My will tell stories about how can know someone for decades without knowing their govy.

Even in gamer(tm) spaces most ppl will just refer to each other by their tags.

[–] Wmill@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah for me most of my friends online know my name, like not legal name but familiar nickname. It feels nice I always wanted my irl friends to use it but I was too meek to get them to use it now when they call me it I feel happy.

The main riff for the next song laid out

I actually built this riff upon an older djoke comment I made here

After this track, I got one more to write, and it's just gonna be a very short instrumental, like no more than 2.5 minutes most likely.

There is new heist game about a group reclaiming back stuff stolen from colonizers and crackers are crying in the comments

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

What a fucking banger.

Would your platform allow a game about whites stealing from African museums?

The stupidity on display is astoundingcolumbo-donk

I structured an intro and a verse section.

The verse starts when the ambient guitar comes in at 0:27. I decided to make the ambient guitar and the chug guitar polyrhythmic.

I wrote this song to be a semitone flat, being in drop E♭₁ instead of drop E₁.
