For all new users from the I highly recommend reading fedi.tips to get an understanding of how Mastodon works!

It's part of something called the which has a bit of a learning curve to it, and @​feditips does an excellent job explaining it as well as the general culture of Mastodon and where to start.

Welcome to Mastodon! You'll love it here :RedCrystalHeart: :mastodon:

this for more new users to see! 🔁

Happy Friday everyone! 🥳

Today I released a new electro tune called "I Need New Music". 🎶

Upbeat EDM calling out bots and scammers (mainly on bird app and Spotify) engaging in payola, stream manipulation, and spamming "I NEED NEW MUSIC" for clout on social media algorithms.

Out now on:

: moule.bandcamp.com/track/i-nee
: open.spotify.com/track/1AX9aVw
, Apple Music, Amazon and more: hyperfollow.com/moule/i-need-n

The cover art of MOULE's latest track, "I Need New Music".

It depicts Oskar, an anthropomorphic cartoon cyborg prankster squirrel, laughing in front of a red keyboard and mouse with glowing light blue server racks behind him with the bots he controls. Oskar has a metallic horn poking up from his forehead emitting two lightning bolts and the left-side of his face is metallic. He is wearing a yellow and red t-shirt divided diagonally across his t-shirt.

Oskar is seen trying to scam someone over DMs, showing the dialogue from the social media app 2Square, simulating the unsolicited DMs from spammers, which reads:

"Hello, Are you Artist? I am Digital Marketing Expert. Do u need music promotion? Would love to discuss PR opportunities! 100% Real and Organic services. I usually charge $30 but for u I will make a deal:

"Choose your Promo Package Plan:

"Buy 1,000 Followers: $9.99
"Buy 10,000 Streams: $15.00
"Buy 100,000 Views: $25.00
"Buy 1,000,000 Likes: $199.99

"I also accept crypto, follow back fam."

At the top-right of the cover art is the MOULE logo, and at the bottom of the cover art is the title "I NEED NEW MUSIC" in all caps.

Despite the seeming to slow down, I'm still posting more and more here on .

I love it's uplifting culture (nothing but drama and people finding things to hate on back on the ), wholesome userbase, accessibility, its decentralisation, and most importantly, no AIs or algorithms burying posts! :mastodon: :RedCrystalHeart:

After some time on I’ve begun to realise just how deeply normalised insulting and trolling are on and how it’s made worse via algorithms popula rising drama into people’s feeds 😕

I just got banned from posting on for a week for posting the link to @​elonjet's YouTube stream tracking 's jet 😂

Got banned for "posting private information" but the stream shows publicly-available information 🤡

:birdsite:

Screenshot showing MOULE's Twitter profile is banned for a week for "violating rules against posting private information". For context, the "offending" Tweet was a link to a YouTube livestream tracking Elon Musk's jet, which in turn uses public information, not private.
Another screenshot showing that MOULE had to delete the Tweet containing the link to the livestream before a counter of 7 days would begin before his Twitter account is re-opened.

#BirdSite Rant

I’ve discovered and networked with some absolutely amazing artists through , but I’ve become tired of the platform itself and its new owner, algorithms, and how it promotes drama and chasing high likes and follower counts 😒

I’m posting more on ! 🦣 I love its algorithm-free design, its decentralisation, and its wholesome, accessible, drama-free culture. I’m considering posting only here now and using my Twitter to mirror my posts there. :RedCrystalHeart: :mastodon:

If I’ve unfollowed you on the , let me know and I shall follow you back there immediately. Twitter’s really been acting up lately and I’m so happy I have expanded to . ❤️🦣

Screenshot showing my Twitter page with 0 following, 5,303 followers. The “0 following” is circled in red with a ? and ! pointing to it because I don’t remember unfollowing everyone.
Screenshot reading that my Twitter account is temporarily restricted when you visit it on mobile.

I've been meaning to post to the hashtag for a while...I've also noticed it's gained traction back on the as well! :birdsite:

Here's a I found in outside a church, courtesy of Google Maps since I accidentally deleted my own photo. 🤣

This year I'm gonna take it easy and switch my life motto from a "roller coaster" enjoy the ride to a " cruise" enjoy the ride.

As an , I'm gonna be much more when it comes to promoting my new music and art as I continue to de-program my mind from obsessing on metrics and numbers that like brainwashed me to believe in.

The Metrics are The Matrix: It's time to break free!

All the more reason to put your handle in your name / bio!

You can still list it in the format "@name@domain" — which not only includes it in Fedifinder and Debirdify, but is also easier to paste in your own instance's search. bigtechquestion.com/2022/11/18

Even after finishing my 7-day suspension from for posting a link to ’s jet, I still think I’ll be posting on from now on. The downside is that so many amazing artists I’ve found on Twitter aren’t on Mastodon yet! :mastodon:
