It's gonna be wild when discord finally runs out of VC money and 10 years of conversation history and random file uploads are lost forever.
@jrallsn do you know if "Slack AI" trains off all slack messages?

@djsundog and I are launching a project to build federated, open source, #bandcamp alternative.

We're building this because we need it. We're doing it ourselves because it will become a part of the larger media production and distribution ecosystem we have planned.

We welcome other open source projects, and we might even contribute to a few of them, but for the next several months, this is our full time gig.

Long term vision: https://mountaintown.technology/

Repo: https://code.communitymedia.network/MountainTownTechnology/aural_isle/

How and why: https://ajroach42.com/the-uncertain-future-of-bandcamp/

Mountain Town Technology is building the future of media production.

Fediverse bandcamp please.

I will give any developer a free outline of how to build this so DIY musicians and artists and small labels will actually use it and benefit from it. I will also administer an instance. Hell I'll administer your flagship instance if you want.

(don't answer with Funkwhale unless Funkwhale has had a major update because a stand-in for bandcamp, it is not.)

Anyone know of a good way to cross post with kolektiva, bsky and threads? Need something like that for when reporting live on the ground.. at least during this weird stage of not knowing which platform is going to be the most useful alternative to bird app.

Some correction and additional info: h/t @indybay

"This is great! Just for the record though, there's a comment on that article by "Brian Hall, one of the lead volunteers and founders of NYC Mesh" which explains, " Error in Techdirt article. We formed 9 years ago, which was way before the Spectrum strike. The enemy in those days was Time Warner Cable. The strikers have their own separate organization." "

A Volunteer Army Is Deploying Dirt Cheap Broadband In NYC
