Friends, the pillow fort is getting massive.

We will do our best to keep the vibe as long as you need a safe haven from the thing.

There is friendly chat if you want it, calm visuals if you need em, a friendly crew to just be amongst quietly if that is what you need, and more comfy songs than you can shake a pool noodle at!

See the post above.

Listen to some amazing comfy music from amazing fedi neighbours quietly together or feel free to have some friendly modded chat about darn near anything except the thing.

Be a bit less alone together and seek comfort. 1/

Friends, we'll have chat turned with friendly mods on our video channel with the Comfy channel playing, Tuesday 05 Nov from 1800 US EST | 2300 UTC if you might need a safe haven from the thing.

Stop though if you want to get away, quietly enjoy some calm and comfy RFF tunes, be alone together or engage in some friendly chat about anything other than the thing.

This isn't just about finances. The community were fast to answer the call for annual infra drives so that at least was never a burden on the human.

I never wanted to ask, find, take staff funding on principle and was able to wear full-time volunteerism beyond what my health could afford. Sadly that debt has very much come due.

The project was always too big for a lone hamster, and informed friends and colleagues who respect my privacy will understand: we've overshot any handover options.

4/

The response to my asking for help for over a year, the pivots I have to be accommodating have been all proven unviable structurally, temporally and now personally. All of this has been considered to N degrees and has been quite a weight.

Please do not add to the many weirdly demanding comms I've been hit with during these desperate attempts to salvage the project. Asking at this time why or how or "what can you do" even if you think your intentions are sincere is not helpful.

3/

Even though some people might say that RFF is just a radio station, so much more went into our operation than simply running some media streams.

I've worked hard for RFF to be relentlessly pro-artist and positive, when offering artist support of all kinds and when framing critical analysis on struggles and dramas we as independent artsts were facing.

The sad fact of the matter is that RFF cannot sustainably stay in operation despite having put out calls for help throughout 2024.

2/

RFF is entering maintenance/sunset mode.

We've helped empower, amplify and motivate the music community within the Fediverse by celebrating artist consent and agency, direct support, and promoting quality sounds.

If you've participated along the way, you can be proud of the gauntlet we've thrown down for community and vibes and the discovery, collaboration and support fomented.

We'll accept music submissions until mid-Dec and the station will power down in Jan 2025.

I want to thank the @owncast project for the work toward being our own platforms and community venues and directly supporting RFF as well!

It's great having spaces outside the walled gardens we can be engaged humans supporting one another and having agency over our art, our fun and our community.

Surprising folks with quality events that might do justice to the amazing quality of independent talent, and do so in safer, more organic, and productive small is beautiful spaces is awesome.

2/

I want to thank all the amazing fedi friends for being so supportive, attentive, engaged and vibing so hard with the artists, event and each other today and always when we do community events!

Thank you to @shannoncurtis and @hilljam for a stunning performance and for pouring so much energy and emotion into a virtual environment for us all, and for being so receptive and supportive of RFF.

And to all for the quality and calibre of art, support and community you bring!

Hat tips all around.
