Hello there 👋
I am following the path of decreasing dependency on US products myself, and I was wondering if there is any real alternative for bandcamp? Meaning, the one that would be a proper marketplace for niche music creators, that would allow DRM-free downloads and streaming at the same time.
Bottom line: I do want to pay for music I like to support musicians, though I want to do it in a way that would allow me to listen to their work in a way I like the most.
Yeah, Funkwhale is more of a defederated music/audio publishing platform. It’s good, but I find it somewhat challenging to discover music there.
For those who remember Grooveshark, Funkwhale is a bit of a spiritual successor.
