RETRO COMPUTING MUSIC
ARCHIVE LIST OF EVERYTHING ON MASTODON!
I aim to centralise ALL the RETRO people in 1 post for older "chiptune" game music
+ all the hashtags for the game music and machines so people can go and find more or see what's on Mastodon
One post for all!
Do let me know if this misses any old console hashtgs or people with real retro music passion!)
(I will look at my following and pick the names out... luckily in the avatar it's really easy to spot RETRO GAMES / EARLY COMPUTING people!
THIS POST WILL BE REVISED -
TURN NOTIFICATIONS ON!
OK LET'S GO - SO FAR I HAVE THIS:
A couple of bots by @confusedbunny posting chiptune music tracks from the Atari ST and ZX Spectrum:
➡️ @AtariSTMusic - Music from the Atari ST, posts once a day
➡️ @AYMusic - Music from the ZX Spectrum, posts every four hours
#ChipTune #ChipTunes #RetroComputing #ComputingHistory #Music #DigitalMusic #Electronica #Retro #8Bit #16Bit #ZXSpectrum #AtariST #Atari #Bot #Bots #1980s #1990s
OTHER THOUGHTS:
Somehow I'm not totally into just games but the nostalgia + music is 100% nice and I work in between listening while doing the "real" work or play in life (between people in life- not just games... so let's not go there... yet! Just enjoy together!)
@confusedbunny @SIDMusic

or many should be! But anyway originals really stand for themselves... solid
@freeschool I have those accounts set so that any favourites/boosts will stop the post expiring - recommend doing this for any you like.
@confusedbunny
Guess that's on the newer Mastodon version... So what is the idea with your videos... to save only favourites / boosted - I guess the others are eventually is deleted (?)
@freeschool Yes, just to reduce impact on the server. I can't remember the timeframe, might be anything over one month gets deleted (if not faved/boosted).
@confusedbunny
I think it's really important to say on your profile and state explicitly that: "The idea with my video content is that those that are favourited / boosted music stay online - the others are deleted automatically after a month or so" (or however you want to work it...)
... because people assume things are permanent / not subject to much change (until recently Mastodon introduced this ability for example)
As habits I also don't favorite as often as I should (not sure if I did yours) because reply or interact more often / always so the gauging of popularity is variable...
but overall if it's just a temporary thing... not an archive and something continually rolling that's cool too.. (just wasn't clear from start / was just you saying by chance / me asking by chance).
Happy to think about this more out loud see what's possible overall as any kind of 'thing'
but doesn't have to have more meaning sometimes also thn what it is - just thought I'd mention it.
@freeschool Yes, good idea, I've added that.
I consider that people generally don't scroll back very far into history, so wanted the older posts to be ones that were liked more - just keeping them for the sake of it fills up the server for little benefit (important when the server is being run by an individual). As it's random, things tend to come back round anyway!
@confusedbunny I like it. I like the methodology a lot.
Things also tend to be good fresh / rotated for the human aspect of doing things in the now rather than going back in time...
Hmmm 
🤔 
...that's probably key to a lot of things... temporary repeating rotating or... hmm need to think about that one for my content...
