@wjmaggos Since you like to talk about (let's broadly say) an alternate economy for music, I wanted to point you to a couple things I recently heard about:
bandwagon.fm - bandcamp-like site for the fediverse. Created by @benpate
subvert.fm - plans for a cooperatively owned bandcamp-like site. Found on hacker news, not on the fediverse now afaik.
-
I’ll go out on a limb and say, from what I’ve seen, subvert.fm is a plan without a technology stack (yet?)
And bandwagon is a technology stack without a plan
It’s slightly better than that, but Bandwagon started off as a response to musicians’ requests.
Once I run out of feature and enhancement requests, I’m not sure what I’ll do next.
-
what I'd like to see from bandwagon is basically what wordpress does (FOSS sites artists can set up themselves or use your central one) but geared towards musicians. and fedi support. and an app so that I can stream the music from all the artists I follow. and then pay them automatically based on listening. decentralize bandcamp and spotify.
@musicman @ryno and I and others are trying to get a @friendsofccmusic org up and awesome. so we have some #ccmusic connections.

Yes! Great summary. And I am copying Wordpress’es business model on purpose. I think it’s a fair an open way to cover all the bases.
One note: Bandwagon WILL support online album sales, but doesn’t yet. It’s on the roadmap (https://bandwagon.fm/roadmap) but will take some time to do well.
