There's a really cool open source alternative to Bandcamp that just came out. With some questions raised about Bandcamp's future, some musicians in the Fediverse are leaning into the new platform as a different approach to selling their music.

Faircamp is just a static site, and doesn't federate itself, but its adoption within the Fediverse suggests that people are at least thinking about alternative solutions.

Epic bought them (I think they wanted to start competing with Spotify?), laid off a bunch of staff, SOLD Bandcamp to Songtradr, who then laid off %50 of their staff
