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?)
  • iopq@lemmy.world

    I just looked up Monerun

    Monero is not doing “printing currency”. Some exchanges that promise to pay you monero may not hold it. That’s the same what your bank does. The bank seldom has enough dollar bills to pay all of its depositors money.

    But again, this is between an exchange and its customers. You can gasp use another exchange and withdraw your money immediately after using it
