There's a really cool open source alternative to Bandcamp that just came out. With some questions raised about Bandcamp's future, some musicians in the Fediverse are leaning into the new platform as a different approach to selling their music.

Faircamp is just a static site, and doesn't federate itself, but its adoption within the Fediverse suggests that people are at least thinking about alternative solutions.

Honestly, fuck Bandcamp. I used that platform for years, purchased a huge library, supported artists even when I was about 90% sure that some of them were just resellers providing rips of the original artists music.

And then for no reason at all a few weeks ago, I was asked to verify my account via email. Despite using the correct autosaved password. That email never arrived. Never arrives no matter what I try. So I cannot get back in. Support is like check your spam folder like motherfucker you don't think that's the first place I went when I didn't see the conformation email?

Fuck the new ownership. Fuck Bandcamp. Good luck with your upcoming job search.
