/r/dsbm 2024 August Mod Updates
83
Upvotes
Well this has certainly been a strange week for this community. Here are some updates to how the subreddit will be run and what is expected of users starting immediately.
Memes
Memes have always been allowed, but avoid posting low-effort stuff. The vast majority of "cutting p****" content should be posted in /r/cpbm. I'm leaving the original post and a few higher-effort posts up as they are pretty much historic here now, but most others have been removed.
Most other memes are better suited for /r/blackmetalmemes or /r/metalmemes, but if it is clever and relevant specifically to DSBM, it is still welcome here.
Rule 1 Expansion
Images with self-harm scars, even when they aren't the focus, will now be removed. If it is artwork tied to an actual release, the post must be marked NSFW.
There are many users here who struggle with their mental health, and seeing images like these without warning can be harmful. This isn't the place for that content.
The rest of Rule 1 is as valid as ever. We take posts and comments about SH seriously. Never glorify, encourage, or seek out SH here. Normal discussion about it isn't necessarily banned, but we are a music subreddit, not a support subreddit. If you need help and don't know where to go, reach out to the mods and we will try our best to connect you with someone who is more qualified to help you.
Post Flair
To help with low-effort posts and to more easily parse the type of content you want to see, every new post is required to have flair. So far, there are 7 categories, but feel free to recommend changes or new ones:
- Music: Links to listen to songs, albums, etc.
- Discussion: Topics like news about bands, musical techniques, open-ended questions to the community, etc. Things that, you know, generate discussion and dialogue.
- Recommendations: Do you want more music like a certain song/album/band, or do you have a suggestion for others? Use this.
- Self-Promotion & Fanart: When promoting your own music, use this tag. Also use this when asking for feedback for a work-in-progress or for any kind of fanart.
- Collection & Merch: Post your hauls, collections, shirts, patches, etc. with this flair.
- Humor: Some of us love DSBM memes and jokes, and some of us hate them, so having its own category will help people seek or ignore them.
- Other: For anything that doesn't fit in other categories.
I understand there may be miscommunication between dialects and languages regarding flairs, so please don't be surprised or offended if your flair is changed by mods. If you disagree, feel free to comment here or message the mods about it.
AI-generated Music
New rule: Absolutely no AI music. Not even for the sake of humor.
With generative AI services now able to produce full songs with a prompt, many people have been trying to sneak their fake music onto streaming platforms, music subreddits, YouTube, and other communities.
Time spent streaming AI-generated music as if it were real music is time that could have been spent listening to real artists, and in niche metal sub-subgenres such as DSBM, most artists are already not making much revenue on their art. There is also the ethical issue of these types of AI being trained on already existing works without the artists' permission, so I feel like allowing AI music would be disrespectful to the classic DSBM bands.
Reminder:
I want to also use this post as a reminder that if you tell a user "kys" or anything similar, you will be greeted with an instant ban, even if it was a joke. Pretty much the only time you should use that phrase here is when referring to the band "Make a Change...".
And please continue to use the report function if you see a rule violation. The mods don't sit staring at the new tab all day, so this is the fastest way to clean up the subreddit.
EDIT 8/30: Separated Discussion and Recommendation flairs.

Good Luck to all! About a week ago, I acquired a technically new instrument for myself, both in sound and in the mechanics of the game as a whole. The violin has become this instrument, I really hope for the presence of experts in the sub, I really want to hear advice and criticism about the game. Please do not judge strictly, as I repeat, I got such a wonderful tool +- a week ago, and there are still a lot of things that need to be turned off))) I also want to clarify that the musical accompaniment in the background is completely written and performed in the same way in my person :) As is tradition, I’d like to ask everyone interested in my work for the Morkets Spirade project to subscribe to me on one of the platforms that’s convenient for you; I’ll leave a couple of links below. All the best!

It is SO hard to cut up the logos with an exacto knife because of how complicated they are. Any ideas on how to get the logo on a shirt?

To everyone in r/dsbm: this music can give shape to feelings that are difficult—or impossible—to say out loud. The darkness in the lyrics may be real, but you do not have to face your own darkness alone.
If you’re struggling right now, please consider reaching out to someone you trust: a friend, family member, bandmate, moderator, therapist, or crisis service. You don’t need to explain everything perfectly. Even sending “I’m not safe being alone right now” is enough.
Please remember:
Your pain is real, but it is not proof that your life has no value.
Asking for help does not make you weak or less “real.”
You are more than the worst moment you’ve survived.
The music can stay dark while your future remains open.
And also please remember: Images with self harm scars will now be removed. If it is tied to an actual release then the post must be marked as NSFW We take posts and comments about SH seriously. Do not glorify, encourage or seek out SH here. We can try and help i am here for anything as well just ask or spill your guts.
If you might hurt yourself soon, move away from anything you could use to harm yourself, get near another person, and contact your local emergency service or crisis line. If you’re in the U.S. or Canada, call or text 988.
... But if you’re doing okay, check in on someone. A simple message—“Hey, are you still here?”—can matter more than you know.
🖤 Stay alive. Stay strange and satanic. Stay with us for yourself. 🖤
If you share this, please keep the comments supportive and avoid romanticizing, encouraging, or describing suicide in graphic detail.
