Regarding my last post. "Art isn't dead, you're just stuck watching corporate sh**" (Disney/Marvel/DC/EA Games/Blizzard/ Activision)
I was talking with a friend about it.
90% of what I consume is indie media. Bcz I learned habits that allow me to find cool indie stuff seamlessly.
But it can be hard for ppl who are used to just consume what is trending, to just go off the grid with their media.
Maybe we need something like a "manual to abandon corporate media". It could be a Zine.

We would like to see more translations of scholarly articles, as the name of our group suggests.
One way to stimulate their production is to bring them inside the scientific reward system. We thus propose to publish translations in scholarly journals and call on editors to publish such translations and make this clear in the instructions for authors.
The call in English: blog.translatescience.org/tran…

Important: Most local reporters primarily come up as crime reporters. These are pure access relationships that depend on a cop giving a tip about a burgulalry to one TV station over another. twitter.com/gaywonk/status…Corporate media — which benefits from a close relationship with police and is threatened by mass movements — is going to spend the next few weeks lecturing a grieving community about how to best respond to the state-sanctioned murder of its people.

poppy has been warning us of our current covid times
1. in scary mask, poppy talks about wearing her mask, not taking it off, and urges you to NOT TOUCH HER. DO NOT EVEN LOOK AT HER. the man asks you "are you wearing your mask??"
2. in her latest album, released barely after the prc announced to the WHO, poppy has songs:
a.] sit/stay, sick of the sun, don't go outside: PROPERLY promoting physical distancing and staying at home
b.] BLOODMONEY detailing and questioning religious leadership during these times
c.] i disagree, urging us to let all our terrible institutions burn.
d.] concrete if we die, just turn us into something useful ❤
in summary, i am definitely not in a cult lead by poppy.

There *should* be a website that recomends opensource, community made content. Like in general. Maybe not somewhere that hosts it, but like an index that can search and suggest stuff you might be interested in. With a decent review system.

Regarding Doctor Who, there's nuance. BBC is extremely pro-DRM. But Big Finish Productions who make Doctor Who audiodramas with the old Doctors & Companions, do sell alltheir audiodramas DRM-free. Basically the same show, but without visuals.

in reply to David • • •@duskcomics That's a good point...
The hard part is that people are so used to mainstream media that they don't know *how* to consume anything else.
I sure wouldn't be able to circulate content like this on mainstream media. Since the system survives by co-opting and corrupting any form of counter culture willing to cooperate even a little bit.
What I can think right now is just being a sarcastic troll and bait normies with a title that'll make them think they can be cool by reading it.

Same... kinda.
It's not a 100% replacement, but I just got used to watching "community made" content. Like webcomics, youtube channels (small to medium sized), there are several fiction podcasts and TTRPG series that are better than anything on streaming.
It's not the same, but those fulfill the same role.
Stuff that people make out of passion or a small DIY production is usually better quality as news sources, and fiction.

Unknown parent • • •@dancingindystopia oh cool, I would love suggestions.
I think it's better to teach *how* to find, then making a catalogue of suggestions. Those can get dated some day, it'll run out and people will just go back to what they are used to.
If people learns how to find what they like on the other hand... it's harder to do. But teach a man how to fish and all that.

And short...
"Just say you'll watch it later, you'll put in the backlog blackhole, or outright say you are not interested if you really do not care.
Peer pressure only work if you care about being pressured. You can choose to be absolutely indifferent to it. And talk about anything else in conversations."

in reply to "Author" Sam S. Darger • • •@AuthorSSD Yeah and I like this aspect. I love writing and drawing and the format works really well for what I want to do.
(Less drawing than a comic, more drawing than a book.)
I can't really call it a zine though because the vast majority of ppl don't know what a zine is.
So I just call it a minibook, or light novel for fiction.
"Author" Sam S. Darger
in reply to Nando's Brain • • •So really just an underground, entirely indie anthology with a variety of work in it! There's definitely gotta be SOME kind of appeal for that, especially in smaller art scenes or art scenes too local for outsiders to otherwise come in.
I imagine a catalog variant of a zine could also work for artists and makers working with traditional mediums, who have art/stock to sell, etc.
I've thought about doing something similar myself, I just don't know many other artists.
Nando's Brain
in reply to "Author" Sam S. Darger • • •@AuthorSSD the idea is to be more of a guide on how to find stuff yourself. Teach a man how to fish and all.
But with a bit of planning I might be able to host a catalogue of indie stuff that people can contribute on my website.
This can be a cool side-side project. To work on.
I can just put a big chunky QR code directing to it on the Zine eventually.

in reply to A curse • • •@hexvoid Well, you can follow me and I'll probably post about it whenever I have an outline to check if anyone wants to make a lil collab.
But I've been thinking about making a small discord channel where I and other creators can share or propose creative projects that people can volunteer to collab. May it be comics, zines and e.t.c.
It'll start small, and this can be my first project there.
Lex Tenebris
in reply to Nando's Brain • • •The inevitable and obvious problem is that a manual to abandon corporate media that was a zine would itself be indie stuff that nobody checked out.
A far better solution is to simply expand your circle of association and continue to talk about things you enjoy and why you enjoy them. And a link to where they can consume them.
Otherwise – why would normal people have a reason to care?
Nando's Brain
in reply to Lex Tenebris • • •@LexTenebris Yeah, that's the main point I've been thinking about.
Maybe I could make this like a zine on alternatives for people who are already kind of burnt out of traditional media.
But then it comes back to the point of how are the target audience going to reach this .
Alternatively, there was the suggestion of making something like an indie catalogue.
Which is a bit far from the original idea, but can also help if it is accessible enough.
Lex Tenebris
in reply to Nando's Brain • • •At this point, it you are just talking about curation. And while curation is extremely useful, it still necessitates asking the question of why you should bother if you don't know who is going to read it?
Or, more succinctly, if you don't know who the real audience is going to be you can't actually reasonably design the publication.
Step one: imagine who the intended audience is and how you would have a conversation with them.
Nando's Brain
in reply to Lex Tenebris • • •@LexTenebris while I have the Design skills I really am very newbish on the marketing side of everything.
The target audience would be people who are interested in finding indie, underground content. But don't know how to find it. So I would be offering a sort of starting point.
Lex Tenebris
in reply to Nando's Brain • • •Don't think of it is marketing. That is the failure mode of a lot of designers; they imagine that this is something different than what they have been doing their whole life.
It's not.
Imagine telling people who don't necessarily know you yet about things you really like and getting them enthusiastic. Like your favorite art markers or brushes.
Where did the people you want to talk to spend their time?
Nando's Brain
in reply to Lex Tenebris • • •@LexTenebris People I would like to talk about stuff I'm passionate about... Well it would be people slightly nerdy but not too much.
Like people who are in shallow waters online and I'd love to show where the good stuff is.
Ppl like that would probably be using netflix or trad social media. Probably on Twitter or Reddit.
Lex Tenebris
in reply to Nando's Brain • • •Then that's where you need to go. And you need to put the information together you would like to communicate in a relatively straightforward way that they are willing to check out.
Reddit posts might work combined with the relatively straightforward blogging solution; write.as would be just fine since it federates and has RSS.
The secret is being willing to go where the audience is.
Nando's Brain
in reply to Lex Tenebris • • •@LexTenebris this is actually really good advice. It's really hard for me to think in marketing terms since it's not how my brain works.
It would be great to find a """marketing""" guide for creatives.
Lex Tenebris
in reply to Nando's Brain • • •The Marketing Guide for Creatives is very simple:
Pretend that the people you want to talk to are human beings and proceed appropriately.
That's it. It also explains why so much of modern advertising fails to land in a solid and meaningful way. The people currently in marketing don't like or appreciate the people who have money in the audience.

Unknown parent • • •@greypilgrim I don't specifically know much about movies. But I've got the hang of finding several indie series on youtube.
For some stuff I'll probably have to find and ask other über hipsters that got tired to traditional media haha.
One thing tip I can give right now is to just look into stuff not made in hollywood. So webseries or international movies. Like stuff made in eastern europe, asia, and south america. Those TEND to be much less corporate.

Since it's not really a "product" and I'll be sharing it for free. ppl tend to be very supportive.
eviloatmeal
in reply to Nando's Brain • • •For many, a big part is the social aspect. Being able to relate to the media that your friends and family consume. I would guess the problem is not so much the logistics of finding indie stuff, but more how will you get along with the people who consume the corporate shit.
When my friends are playing a Blizzard game, I have to sit out. When my friends are talking about capeshit, I have to sit out. It gets exhausting if you disconnect from everything they relate to.
Nando's Brain
in reply to eviloatmeal • • •@eviloatmeal Yeah, I don't think it's even feasable to try and disconnect from all corporate stuff. It's not 100% escapable.
Still, participation can be a choice. You can decide on what you'll participate if you have other options.
When you feel like it's all you can find you turn into a sort of prisioner. And the corpo ppl knows that they can do anything and you won't leave.
