what's happening with #Bandcamp is also a symptom of the problem of having basically ALL OF OUR INTERNET SERVICES originating, financed and based on the USA. our digital lives in what was supposed to be a cybergallaxy of endless possibilities is actually being dictated by a small group of white men living in Idiocracyland.

so let's talk #Bandcamp alternatives, temporary or otherwise?

the first one that comes to mind is @itchio (and you can get a music player for your release page here: https://torcado.itch.io/scritch-editor, thanks to @torcado ​)

would love to hear your suggestions, #musodon #musicians ​

EDIT: things that are not based on the US and things that are not led by white men are greatly appreciated. we need this kind of paradigm shift if we want to avoid being on a shitty tech loop.

on November 30th I'll be releasing the 3rd volume of my JUVENILIA collection and it will be available on #Bandcamp, @itchio, Gumroad and commercial streaming platforms. am still looking on how I can also release this on a self-hosted solution to cover as many bases as I can. will be looking at suggestions made by other fedizens on my #Bandcamp alternatives thread (https://toot.cairobraga.com/@cairobraga/111250381136896217) to find a good solution for myself.

I just surprise-released the 3rd volume of my #JUVENILIA collection before the official release date on my sparkling new #Gumroad store. It will hit streaming platforms this Thursday the 30th of November. It's a pay-what-you-want download and the first step of me exploring #Bandcamp alternatives: https://cairobraga.gumroad.com/l/juvenilia-vol3

not exactly a #Bandcamp alternative but a nice musician-led initiative towards the descentralization of our "industry": https://funmusic.place/
