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?)

I honestly lose track of the everchanging landcape of crypto grifters these days. There's so many of them and the recent meltdown all across the crypto sphere has made them desperately come out of the woodwork trying to get ANYBODY to buy their shit before they're left holding … sorry, hodling … the bag.

Monero is the one that is a private ledger, though, which means not only can't other people see your transactions, you can't see the transactions of the people running it to see if they're scamming or not. They're less transparent than a commercial bank and that takes a lot of effort!

I predict within a year Monero will rugpull and disappear into the digital æther. The whole crypto sphere is in a tailspin and the people at the head of the various pyramids are going to be leaving soon, leaving only the suckers behind.
