Bandwagon — a federated Bandcamp alternative
Bandwagon — a federated Bandcamp alternative
No conflict of interest, I only saw the poject via Mastodon.
From the website:
Fediverse, Mastodon, and beyond
Gorgeous album pages
Audio streaming
Tour dates and tickets
Music discovery? Online sales? Analytics? There's a lot more in store as the community grows.
This is not a federated bandcamp, it's a platform for bands to do marketing across mutliple various social networks from one web portal.
Do we like it though? It seems like a good thing (anything has to be better than the currently broken system right?), but after reading some of the comments I'm not sure.
No, "we" don't.
Doesn't seem like it's open source. Am I mistaken?
Huh. There is a worrying lack of license information, yes. I didn't even notice.
No license file (yet?), but source code (or something like that) is on github: https://github.com/EmissarySocial/bandwagon
It seems like it's an example app built with the Emissary Social Toolkit: https://emissary.dev/ https://github.com/EmissarySocial/emissary AGPL3
"This is a 100% open source effort, so you could even roll your own, if you want."
This seems like a FOSS bait and switch. Yall gotta start getting the message: The profit is the problem.
Reminds me of this one time at Bandwagon....
