Bandwagon is Bringing Music Sales to the Fediverse - We Distribute
wedistribute.org
An open source music-sharing platform has been growing in popularity on the Fediverse. The next major milestone? Helping artists sell music.

An open source, self-hostable music platform will soon allow people on the Fediverse to buy music and support artists. Here’s why it’s a big deal.

    There’s no way an open source market platform would work. But if it does, then I’ll be amazed.

          @P4ulin_Kbana if you are talking of a “platform” your are thinking thinks still form a central point of view.

          Think more decentral here

          Think of e.g. a lot of connected woocommerce instances and you get an idea of how a decentralized open source market “platform” could work.

          decentralized server wide search and login has to work - that’s it

          If the community you are currently in does not want to pay for music, then it is best to find a different community to market to. There are people out there who are willing to support independent artists. As an artists, that’s who you would want to attract to your website.

              Although, it should be noted that we can still use the same fediverse technology. We are just attracting different people and creating our own communities on the decentralized social web.
