Announcements Changes to the subreddit

175 Upvotes

Congratulations to us for reaching 90.000 users! This is a significant milestone, which we want to celebrate by shaking up the sub. You might have noticed a few changes to the subreddit since April 14th, which culminate today in this post. Given the change in the broader IDM landscape, especially with the closure of WATMM, we want this subreddit to become a better place for the discussion of Aphex Twin, and in a lesser sense, IDM. The most important changes to the subreddit are as follows:

1. Mandatory Post Flair

Starting today, every new post needs to be categorized under one of ten flairs. These are: 

  • [Disctussion] - Discussion posts about this community. 
  • [Afx Adjacent] - For similar artists / recommendations and anything related to Aphex Twin.
  • [Produktion] - For producers to share what their working on, discuss techniques.
  • [Currently Listening] - For discussion of Aphex music, favorite tunes, underrated gems, et cetera.
  • [Afx Art] - Self explanatory, if AI is used, it must be noted in title.
  • [Shitpost] - This includes memes and stuff maybe more apt for r/rdjcirclejerk. Do note that aphex pareidolia posts will still remain off limits and that low-effort karma baiting will also not be tolerated.
  • [Live Experience] - For show stories, footage and discussion of live events.
  • [MERCH-ROMT30A] - For merch-related posts.
  • [News] - For general news about Aphex Twin. 
  • [Announcements] - Announcements for the subreddit, only used by moderators.

Posts that are not flaired properly will be removed. We have done this to heighten the quality of the average posts on this subreddit.

2. Rule and moderation upgrade

We’ve updated the standard replies to rule-breaking posts and made them a bit more professional, with the reason for deletion explicitly stating the subreddit rule it might break. We’ve also added a new rule that complies with the new post flairs. The rules themselves might be updated at a later time to be made more straightforward.

3. Weekly ‘What are you listening to’ post

Since this April 14th, there is a weekly stickied post for music that is not directly related to Aphex Twin. Please feel free to engage in these discussions freely!

4. Sidebar links

We’ve added useful links to the sidebar to great resources related to Aphex Twin. This includes the tribute albums of this community (spearheaded by u/GreystarMusic), a full overview of RDJ’s discography in spreadsheet, and platforms where Aphex Twin can be listened to.

5. Upgraded user flair

The user flairs were a bit outdated, and some were redundant since around 2016, leaving blank spots. This has been fixed now, with new Aphex Twin related material having been added. If you think some more flairs should be added, please let us know in the comments!

6. Connections to the broader IDM Reddit community

We’ve added links to subreddits that are adjacent to r/aphextwin. We did a bit of research and though Subaru, Seinfeld and Red Letter Media are perhaps not that well suited to this music-based community, we did add links to r/boardsofcanada and r/autechre, to name a few, as interests.

Please let us know what you think of these changes, so we can continue to make this subreddit a great place for the Aphex Twin fandom!

the zany and lovable Laniakea doesnt know what type of creature she is, or if she is even real. She finds help from Glaucous the creature, Joy the creature, and Miss Mousey Mouse Church Mouse the Mouse.

featuring the wondrous nature of ohio, the luminous spectrum of kodak ektachrome super 8 film stock, and a brainwave swirling synthesizer based soundtrack

I was digging through some of my Videocassette and DVD vaults and came across a few nuggets. I think there are 5 Aphex Twin videos on the WarpVision dvd.

Not sure if this shirt is a reprint or not. It has a Gildan tag. From what I searched it could be a concert exclusive from 2019. That’s the only sale i could find online. Any help or info would be much appreciated :)
