Yikes, that's not great. At least for the moment seems like Bandcamp is still going but actions like this don't bode well for the future.

I don't mind buying FLACs at Qobuz but they feel way less indie centric IMO, not sure if all the smaller acts I follow are even on there. Subvert (https://www.subvert.fm/) did launch as a Bandcamp alternative but it might take a while before it catches on.

Well that's a shame. They should've stayed independent but I guess the original folks wanted that fat buy-out paycheck instead of making steady money and being a good platform for music.

I encourage people to use mirlo.space which is working on federation

But bandcamp will stay?

It's a really good thing that there are alternatives now. Mirlo, and Subvert just opened. Time to push the move harder I guess

damn, guess I'll have to start hosting my music somewhere else

Ouch
