Look at this lovely Dutch Uncles release which is available for pre-order on Bandcamp.

Dutch Uncles are a staple of the Manchester music scene. If you know, you know. My Norwegian wife described them as "Kate Bush for hipster indie kids" and I guess that is accurate.

Anyway, go buy the record: https://dutchuncles.bandcamp.com/album/polygon-hotel

Proposal: Put just a bit of peer pressure on #FediMusician s publishing only on #Bandcamp or #Soundcloud to ALSO try one of these alternatives. And what about removing Bandcamp from the scope of #FairMusicFriday ?

If #FediMusic lovers don't support more explicitly these Fedifriendly alternatives, who will? For comparison, #SubvertFM (which counts as a fair platform too) is getting way more traction, but they are putting all their bets in the usual corporate channels, not in the Fediverse.

I follow the RSS feeds of #Mirlo and #Bandwagon and I listen (if briefly) everything that comes in. It's way less than I expected, especially on number of creators. Decentralized #Funkwhale and #Faircamp are harder to count, but I expect the same.

Meanwhile, #Bandcamp keeps being perceived as acceptable enough by many who actually praise Mirlo, Bandwagon, etc. But then, why would their promoters bet not their lives but almost building these alternatives in the first place? (continues)
