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.

How come? 'Cause there’s no advertising budget?

No, it’s because of the community itself.

@P4ulin_Kbana if you are talking of a "platform" your are thinking things 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.

I’m hopeful for this! I’d be happy to pay for music if the price is reasonable and I know it’s going to the artists and not some dumb record label.

>the Fediverse today lacks any kind of commerce

This is not true. I already told you about that when you published a promotional post about subclub (which didn't last), but now you're saying it again. Why?
