♡ Alternative Fashion ♡

For alternative FASHION: goth, dark alt, grunge, punk, harajuku, whatever! This means MAKEUP and CLOTHING. This is NOT a music community. What makes a look alternative?: Just ask yourself, do you see the day to day average person wearing this? No? Does it catch your eye for being different? Yes? Then it is likely alternative fashion! This category is massive. read my post about this here _*Note: In the context of fashion, the term 'goth' has evolved and may not necessarily reflect the goth subculture (a goth is anyone who listens to goth music). To respect real goths, I prefer using 'alt' instead. I reserve the term 'goth' for clarity to the average person._

this is a thinly veiled attempt at reverse psychology to drive engagement.

i swear to god it's not. i genuinely felt really discouraged after posting here for a month consistently, seeing little to no progress and 0 engagement, and i got petty and made this post and i planned on leaving this acc and just going to my alt. since this got attention, i now regret the wording because i sound whiny and probably like you assumed. i truly didn't expect more than 10 people to see this, i was about to abandon this mag pretty much

also this is a kbin mag, and i am from kbin lol. i dont see anything as a war, i see it as a collective community.

Just to be clear the aggregator war isn’t between other federated social media and Lemmy. It’s between the place that starts with R and rhymes with Feddit.

Or single owner social media X, Meta etc.
