@meljoann @hilljam @stefan @chris @ethicalrevolution @axwax @keefmarshall Now that would be excellent…

@meljoann @hilljam @stefan @chris @ethicalrevolution @axwax @keefmarshall Yeah, that’s a great point. Maybe linking social media to an online home is reinforcing some of those things and bringing it into your space so you’re more aware of it.

Are we heading back towards forums?

@chris Potentially and it would be amazing if more folks worked together and combined ideas so that it could be customisable for different needs. The other thing I should've mentioned (but ran out of space), is my website-building knowledge is extremely limited and I'm only really trying to catch up now. Perhaps part of that fatigue is not just all the platforms to update but the daunting amount of knowledge needed to untangle from them too, to understand interesting new projects such as this.

@stefan @chris @ethicalrevolution @meljoann @axwax @keefmarshall @hilljam I hope so. Curious to know too if anyone else has moved platforms multiple times and kind of had to start from scratch each time, or whether (unlike myself), you've had the foresight to keep one domain to rule them all. My first band started on MySpace and by the time of moving onto a new project, I had no way of contacting any of the people on there. Did the same with Twitter and just blitzed the account into dust.

@chris ...I think many musicians are getting fatigued by there being too many things to update and log into and even their best current option might not fulfil all needs (for instance, my site does not allow for yearly membership and I currently have a very convoluted workaround for it). It seems like some simplification into one thing would be welcomed to a certain degree.

Be interested to know what @meljoann, @ethicalrevolution, @stefan, @axwax, @keefmarshall, @hilljam and others think too?

@chris I think I use them slightly differently and when the website is undergoing maintenance, it's good to have something else to exist from. Additionally, I can manage a listener club, mailing list and emails from my site.

On the other hand...

@chris That’s an interesting question. I think I need longer to mull it over! There’s pros and cons to both.

If you're a #musician who's moved over from #Twitter, here's four things (that lead to more things), that you can check out to help get acquainted with the #Fediverse.

Blog Roll

t at a retro blog roll: a super cute ’net tradition that helped you discover unique homepages on the wild web.

Everyone here is an inspiring person or collective I’ve come across, in person or on the Fediverse. I’d love more artists to be fully in control of how their own work is presented on the internet. In no particular order, here are some people who are doing this in a really beautiful way.

@ethicalrevolution @meljoann @stefan Hmm, how odd. It does seem like it'd fit really well here though!

@ethicalrevolution @meljoann @stefan It's a really cool idea and can't remember how I stumbled across it. Just need to not keep getting stuck in the corridors whilst moving around, haha.

@meljoann @ethicalrevolution @stefan Now ended up somewhere I didn't expect (and lost about half an hour)... https://www.anumberfromtheghost.com/asleep-in-trees

@meljoann @ethicalrevolution @stefan Looks bloody brilliant (and reminds me of when sites used to have more fun elements to explore)! Keeping a lookout for more briefcases now… ‍️

Well, it's #ReleaseDay!

@stefan Thanks, I’ll be sure to add these!

And are there any #MusicBlogs or #Music-themed #Zines on here that would like to be added (and preferably have an open submission policy)?

With that in mind too, what are some musician-orientated servers that could be added? That section is a little lonely at the moment. #Fediverse #MastoMusic #Music #IndieWeb

I don't know if this is a terrible idea or not, but based on posts by @lislegaard and @meljoann and what seems like a dwindling pool of truly independent outlets for music, I've started (very slowly) putting this together. ‍️ https://robertafidora.com/fediup #FediMusic #MusiciansDay #Music #Indie #IndieWeb #Fedi #Fediverse #FediArt #MusicBlogs #Radio #Mastodon #Musodon
