<p>We can grow something better! <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> Punk Month 🖤 </p><p>&quot;We invest too much of our culture in centralized, for-profit, corporate social media platforms. These platforms enrich billionaires, expand surveillance, and fund the cult of capitalist war, all while trapping us with addictive algorithms that feed us mindless content. It feels necessary to be on these platforms to &quot;stay connected&quot;, yet paradoxically they increase our isolation. Their purpose is to extract profit, not to help us connect. </p><p>Instead of jumping between online capitalist corporate platforms, we propose a radical alternative that&#x27;s actually aligned with punk values: the Fediverse, a network for open, autonomous, decentralized, not-for-profit, and DIY social media. </p><p>The Fediverse is an interconnected network of social media platforms...&quot;</p><p>More about: <span class="h-card"><a href="https://kolektiva.social/@The_Counterforce" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>The_Counterforce</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://fedi.the-counterforce.org/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>fedi.the-counterforce.org/</a></p><p><a href="/tags/punk/" rel="tag">#Punk</a> <a href="/tags/diy/" rel="tag">#DIY</a> <a href="/tags/socialmedia/" rel="tag">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="/tags/fedi/" rel="tag">#Fedi</a> <a href="/tags/fedihelp/" rel="tag">#FediHelp</a> <a href="/tags/neuhier/" rel="tag">#NeuHier</a> <a href="/tags/newhere/" rel="tag">#NewHere</a> <a href="/tags/punkrock/" rel="tag">#Punkrock</a> <a href="/tags/did/" rel="tag">#DID</a> <a href="/tags/didit/" rel="tag">#DIDIt</a></p>

<p>I would like to be in an &quot;active&quot; punk hardcore band and I&#x27;m realizing that, whatever that means, it might have to be long distance.</p><p>I&#x27;d just like put out a release or two a year and tour a bit/meet up and play some shows, when possible.</p><p>For a long distance sitch, I&#x27;d feel most comfortable doing vocals, lyrics, and art, but could do bass, as well.</p><p>My reference points sonically speaking would be Die Kreuzen, Mecht Mensch, Bad Brains, Nog Watt, Minutemen; aesthetically/conceptually would be Nation of Ulysses, Baader Brains, Mother Country Motherfuckers, Crass, Digible Planets, Wrangler Brutes.</p><p>I&#x27;m not anticipating anyone chomping at the bit here, but if this feels interesting, please reach out and let&#x27;s try something.</p><p><a href="/tags/punk/" rel="tag">#punk</a> <a href="/tags/hardcore/" rel="tag">#hardcore</a> <a href="/tags/punkpersonals/" rel="tag">#punkpersonals</a> <a href="/tags/bands/" rel="tag">#bands</a> <a href="/tags/art/" rel="tag">#art</a></p>

<p>Last night I interviewed Dan Destructo, the singer and last remaining original member of the 80s <a href="/tags/hardcore/" rel="tag">#hardcore</a> band No Fraud, a band from Venice, <a href="/tags/florida/" rel="tag">#Florida</a>. Talk about charisma. Some people just have that je ne sais quoi. </p><p>The reason I’m still excited about <a href="/tags/punk/" rel="tag">#punk</a> is because of stories like Dan’s. Imagine being a teenager in a small town in the 80s and transforming your entire reality just by making music and sharing it with others. You go from getting beat up for being different to being connected to an international network of supporters just by virtue of making a tape of mediocre quality and sending it off to MRR. Suddenly, you’re touring Canada, getting fan mail from Japan… Just wow. And this is before “Book Your Own Fucking Life,” you know?</p>

<p>Zines and bands get documented but <a href="/tags/punk/" rel="tag">#punk</a> houses rarely do. I only recently realized that communal living is not a universal punk experience. It’s hard for me to imagine what punk means without the freedom of super cheap rent and food sharing. That’s what made it possible to travel and tour. I first met folks who lived at 309 in Pensacola when I lived on the West Coast. Then when I moved to New Orleans, we’d go there to play shows and hang on the beach.</p>
