Cory Doctrow on music streaming. For us music makers, its a grim read but we know tge situation very well. For mudic fzns, please read and take note.
Ultimately a big reason I’m here, I run my own servers and have stopped releasing to stresming platforms.
It’s time to fight back.

Damn, sorry about all the typos!
This is why I'm so bullish on #DeMu, decentralized music, utilizing the RSS protocol! 💜
I’m going to test out getting zaps on my PeerTube instance this week. If I can achieve that, then I’ll be streaming from my own domain too.
I think there’s still some potential issues to iron out but there’s options now. A lot of musicians I know online are no longer releasing on Spotify. It’s good to know DIY options exist again.
