Sadly I don't use the instances these communities are apart of meaning I can't gain control / moderate them.

I might see about just posting in these smaller groups as I would love to see them grow.

TBH that is a fair enough group that I can see why there's no posts in lol

So the reason I purchase songs digitally is a few reasons;

  1. Purchasing an album is really expensive
  2. Purchasing the album is stupid for me as I normally only like 1-2 songs on it.
  3. I'm really autistic and can't deal with going to an artists shows
  4. I don't like how Streaming services work taking money no matter how much I listen to the music
  5. Digital Media can be copied and saved
  6. I know I could just download the MP3 from YouTube but I like to pay something towards the work

Yeah I guess that could feel strange but wouldn't that be better than 0 posts at all? Like hey least they are trying to grow the community and making some sort of effort.

That's fair enough, I find when a community is empty I am less likely to even consider posting in it, compared to one that maybe has a single post from 6+ months ago.

Even if you are squatting on a community I think it makes sense to try and make it look active by posting yourself.

As an autistic person I feel like i'm over staying my welcome sometimes, the easiest way to confront me is be like "hey, great to see you but I have other stuff to do. We should do this again"

@MutilationWave Well I don't often enough the BBC is spreading misinformation & hatred about people like me so i'm not interested.

@MutilationWave why should I pay for something I don’t like support or use

@Semi_Hemi_Demigod They have a few things such as a return address to a government building on the envelope along with the envelope actually being a certain type that I haven't seen with any other mail.

@bizzle A TV licence is meant to pay for our public TV services (that you get through an Arial 'for free') You pay a subscription to pay for things such as the BBC and ITV both TV and Radio.

It is pretty much a joke at this point as they often try and come around and claim the lamest of reasons why you still need to pay for a TV Licence.

- "You have a TV"
- "It could still access the BBC"
- "Your phone could connect to the BBC"

It is just a bullshit way of a company trying to take money.

@The_Picard_Maneuver Here in the UK, sure we get Spam mail but there's red labels and stuff for really important mail from the government and things and most of the time it's just telling you to pay for a TV licence that you wouldn't use as you don't pay for live TV and just watch YouTube.
