I don’t know what the path forward is for this platform, but good grief, I’m out. It’s slow, it’s impossible to set up new communities, it’s rife with political misgivings about the founders (justified), and most importantly, it’s just not fun to use

I’ll be at squabbles.io if anyone needs me

Car, though I have a plug in hybrid and fill up the tank once every 2-3 months. Public transit is a joke in my city, and while I do bike to the few places I can safely get to (work is actually one of them, weather permitting), it’s just not something I’d feel safe doing for most commutes.

Seems like more web3 BS to me. Anything that Jack Dorsey puts his energy into is on my do-not-use list.

Hah! I did not know that. They just gotta keep us guessing on this stuff

Not an uncommon assumption! I learned this by making the same assumption on Reddit a few years ago

Oh good! My first opportunity to point out that Jazzmaster pickups aren’t P90s! They look very similar, but they’re wound very differently and have a distinctly different sound.

But they’re both pure sex, so you’re not wrong on the fundamentals, lol

And like… everything else, too

It sure is! Haha, our culture lives on outside of Reddit!

I’m glad you like this one. I’ve never been a huge fan of the Tele look, so once I saw my first offset version, I knew I had to have one. Then after a couple years of modding other guitars, I decided to just build one. Turned out super fun to play

 

So there appear to be two brand new guitar communities, one here and one at midwest.social. I think we're all probably getting used to how the fediverse version of this kind of social media works, so maybe two aren't necessary?

Anyway, posting to both to see what kind of traction/interactions I get

This is a recent build I did, and it's super fun to play:

  • Warmoth neck
  • Nomoonlaser body
  • Bootstrap pickups
  • Hipshot tuners
  • Fender hardware otherwise, though the pickguard is from some random dude on ebay, and it thankfully fit perfectly.
