Bandcamp is just another prison
There's an unshakeable belief that Bandcamp is somehow the ethical alternative to Spotify and the like. Sure, that's even shittier. But Bandcamp is a greedy monster that lives off the talents of others, you have to buy into the playlists, pay very high fees and are at the mercy of an algorithm that favors those who are favored anyway. Using Bandcamp is like buying vegan products from Nestlé, it seems nice at first, but it only strengthens those who are actually the problem. Luckily, there is the FOSS scene and since yesterday I know that Simon Repp @freebliss has made a great start with his Faircamp https://simonrepp.com/faircamp/. A very lightweight static streaming site for bands and independent labels as it should be. It's still very alpha, but you can easily see that there's a diamond that just needs to be polished. Open standard protocols, no database, no PHP. You don't even need a server, a web space is enough. Super cool. Unfortunately I don't know Rust, but as a know-it-all I can tell you what sucks ;) I set it up as a test for my label Suzy Q Records https://music.undeadnetwork.de/. It's not really in production mode yet, but it will be. Looks super cool. Exactly what I need to get D.I.Y. Underground music onto the free net. Great project, well worth supporting.

Jedes Jahr zu Halloween wird Suzy Q Records ein Jahr älter. Dieses Jahr sind es 25 Jahre. Leider können wir nicht feiern,da die Welt ein Scheißhaufen ist und man das nicht noch gutheißen sollte. Erst kürzlich haben wir zusammen erneut ein echtes Untergrundmonster geschaffen, auf Vinyl. Checkt das aus. Sonst ist sie lang aus dem Haus. Verdient ihr Geld für Drogen und Waffen in der russischen Pornoindustrie. Ich bin sooo stolz!

Help us to continue to support and promote independent, free music. Without the non-commercial, underground labels and bands, there will only be AI-music and Rummelbums. That's enough for most people. If that's not enough, you can support us here and get the new Reverend Elvis and the Undead Syncopators “Moral Panic” as a MP3 download. UiUiUi...

Description:

..The impetus for the revival of interest in #Atlantis in the USSR was ...where the totalitarian regime manifests itself in its ugliest forms...an engineer at one of the institutes of the Soviet Union. During the Cold War......the latter was a widely educated person and had extensive connections abroad. She writes to her correspondent ....
...Public interest was fueled by increasingly new scientific data obtained by Soviet research vessels in the Atlantic Ocean...
