Bandcamp... What now? (lemmy.world)

Now that Bandcamp has had huge layoffs, what about an opensource, Fediverse-friendly replacement? What can a FOSS product bring to the community and do better than Bandcamp?

Discoverability?
Broader selection of payments platforms? Direct transfer to avoid processors? (I'm ignorant about the processing system, plus international considerations)
Ease of spinning up (SaaS?)
Content deliverability (on the fly transcode from sourced FLAC or WAVs? Rich video/multi track audio?)

And as I said multiple times, discoverability sucks in a decentralized service because searching for things is nigh impossible.

You asserted it multiple times, yes, but substantiated nothing.

Go off and waste someone else's feed, Sparky. I've got better things to bang my head against than brick walls.

You haven't shown how a decentralized system is better for discoverability and the original claim was that it is, without anything to substantiate the claim. So far decentralization experiences show that it's pretty much impossible to find content on there, heck, even Reddit is bad to share and accumulate content/knowledge compared to traditional forums and websites!
