MTV died. All the cool, unique artists like off “120 minutes” are now fighting the blandest algorithms imaginable.

We wanted a place to watch weird stuff you can’t see on mainstream channels. So….

Fedi MTV goes live in ONE HOUR.

@meljoann Cool! I've bookmarked that to look at later.

Hello @limebar - the site has an IPv6 AAAA record, but the server isn't responding on IPv6, so I can't see the site. Might want to poke whoever is doing the infrastructure and ask them to fix. 🙏

@dentangle @meljoann @limebar It should say 2a01:4f9:c012:788b::1

@meljoann it's a cool idea. unfortunately artists from across the fediverse is not exactly MTV 120 minutes.

Meljoann Dec 28

Bookmarked.

Joan Combs Durso Dec 28

@meljoann Congrats! This is so cool!

Joan Combs Durso Dec 28

@meljoann i hope there’s lots and lots of “story behind the tech, the videos, the music” stories so people will understand the awesomeness and want more.

Meljoann Dec 28

@econoprof ooh that’s a good idea! Well there are some interviews / talk bits that are scheduled….

@meljoann Caught a few minutes of this this morning, and the third thing I saw was your "O Supervisor". It was amazing! This really does have the feel of very early MTV (when most of the videos available for them to play were experimental things by the likes of Devo and Todd Rundgren), but better.

And the chorus of "O Supervisor" has been stuck in my head for the past hour and a half.

Janet Grootebroeder Dec 28

@meljoann MTV died over two decades ago. :)

Ricardo Harvin Dec 29

@JanetGrBr @meljoann It was fatally wounded in 1992, when The Real World launched, and died no later than a few years after.

Gnorzaps Dec 28

@meljoann excited to see where this goes!

Torsten Torsten Dec 28

thanks @meljoann for promoting this so heavily today. Without it I would have missed hours of fun and connectedness today. And lots and lots of good music.

Calamity Joan 😷Dec 29

@meljoann This sounds _amazing_ - sadly I missed it live. How did it go? Do you think there'll be more?

(So many questions..!)

Meljoann Dec 29

@clickhere aw no worries Joan! There’ll definitely be more events, and the launch vid will go up online too I’m sure.

We were stunned by the response! The vibes were so nice. There’s basically nowhere for music vids to go these days, so I think we are all feeling this is sorely needed ✨

@meljoann I didn't know MTV shut down. What killed the video star?

Meljoann Dec 29

@jackemled Spotify! 👻

@meljoann what an interesting web site! I've spent a lot of today checking out the various feeds and can safely say that there goes yet another chunk of my "spare" time 😁 Really interesting and eclectic stuff!

Meljoann Dec 30

@GopherPete yayy!
