Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Joe Rogan is the single reason I won't touch anything Spotify with a 20 feet pole anymore.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yep, cancelled my 10-or-so-years subscription in part because of this clown. Tidal is just as good tbh

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Same here. It was extremely easy to import my playlists. I can't recommend Tidal enough.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

This might be asking a bit much but could you try to sell me Tidal, if you got the time? I thought about quitting Spotify for some time but have not so far.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It costs the same (or even less by now?), has virtually the same library and (if you are into that) offers higher quality music files. Oh and the biggest plus: doesn't platform nazis like Rogan.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sounds good. The last point brought it home.

[–] treesapx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

For an alternative, I went to Deezer and love it. You should look at some comparisons to see if one is better for you.

[–] lowleekun@ani.social 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah thanks i will do so on the weekend. I have also not done so yet because i share a family account (that i pay for). I am sadly a person that fears conflict of any sort so wish me strength...

He left in 2017, according to goggle.

[–] Thetimefarm@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

It also pays artists a larger cut than spotify.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Sure thing. It's the same service in pretty much every respect. Except without Joe Rogan profiting from it because of some insane $250 mil agreement to push his toxic right wing misinformation show.

They have the same music, the same podcasts, same general search and playlist features. They don't ever try to upsell anything or play ads. They're also $3 cheaper than Spotify.

Even without the Rogan nonsense, I would have switched to Tidal if I had known about it.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yep. I had enjoyed the podcast early, when it was aliens and comedians and good old government conspiracies. Not so much the mma stuff, whatever.

Then it got big and he started enjoying the smell of his own farts ( or something, allegedly). And stopped using the dmt. And it went downhill in a random walk down.

Them came spotify and i knew it was all crap from there on out. A few episodes here and there that make it to youtube ive watched , but meh.

Fleshlight Joe was great, it started going down hill when he started selling brain pills.
