@charlesrandall Wow, I didn't know this was happening! I've yet to make a Bandcamp page but I'm interested in this.

@charlesrandall This is the first I’ve heard about this effort (congratulations!) but I wouldn’t have been surprised if it was already. Were the leadership hostile to the effort?
Show threadCharles RandallMay 20, 2023
@ratkins yeah on their twitter account they said they were contested and leadership challenged 16 votes.

@charlesrandall What does this mean? will it make it so they can't kick artists off the platform for no reason anymore?

@orangegoldgreen This is about the employees of bandcamp, not the clients / consumers of bandcamp.
