Migrant boat from Senegal carrying 200 people missing off Canary Islands
  • I don't think it was even that it was rich people.

    We recently had the mystery disappearance of Nicola Bulley in the UK that got huge media attention because everyone was playing detective; we've had similar media frenzy over the Chilean miners, the Thai footballers in the cave, the RAF lad who disappeared on a night out (it's thought he climbed into an industrial bin)...

    The common thread is that everyone can speculate on whether the subjects will survive or not. 'Migrant boats sinks' stories are focused on too many nameless people and the outcome is too easily predicted for a media frenzy and workplace discussions. People love a bit of speculation.

  • What are some songs or albums that transcend their artist or genre?
  • Fear and Trembling by Gang of Youths is equal parts piano led indie, Americana, rock and a bit of punk/emo in the chrous. It also prefaces what is an incredible album.

    Bon Iver's 22, A Million is a synth industrial indie folk rock album that I find hard to fit into a genre.

  • Does it feel like the fediverse is exclusively used by older tech nerds?
  • I called this a few weeks ago on reddit and people weren't impressed with my negativity.

    I'm sorry, but you can't start a website with:

    Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform.

    And expect 95% of people to do anything other than close the window.
