I don’t know how to feel about the #Bandcamp situation. It certainly doesn’t decrease my disdain for Epic Games, and I’m disgusted by Songtradr’s stance of “supporting the band camp community is our top priority but let’s fire half the staff.”
But what’s the alternative? Isn’t it the only well-known music platform that doesn’t screw over musicians? Are there other places where I can launch a vinyl release for no upfront cost? Control my pricing?
Possible, I did not check recently. If Funkwhale doesn't have the full range of features on board a consideration is to see whether it is possible to have multiple #Fediverse projects be combined and integrated to save work.
Note that @GuildAlpha (part of Social Coding Movement) recently started working on #LibRate which might be an added service for #Funkwhale (just brainstorming ya know ;)
