There’s a really cool open source alternative to Bandcamp that just came out. With some questions raised about Bandcamp’s future, some musicians in the Fediverse are leaning into the new platform as a different approach to selling their music.
Faircamp is just a static site, and doesn’t federate itself, but its adoption within the Fediverse suggests that people are at least thinking about alternative solutions.
The setting up of servers and understanding the fediverse will prevent most artists from participating in this, I feel…
I’d love for this to take off though, I’m fucking pissed that Epic ruined Bandcamp.
