Assuming I or you will cancel any existing recurring infrastructure donations, we should still be covered for the transmitter over the sunset period. For those that have specifically supported me if you might delay cancelling to help through this end period, awesome, but no matter what thank you deeply for trying to include the human backstage in the equation of community service. 5/ 15 comments
I implore you to take what you hopefully have experienced from this project or the community that rallied and build it into other things you do and demand better from the technocrats or just kick them to the kerb. As independent and marginlised artists and as just good humans we deserve better. Rally communities that use tech don't build tech that makes demands of communities. I'm proud to have helped any and all that have felt seen, at home, connected with community or supported. 7/  @radiofreefedi OMG - I feel we have let you down. I should have done more to help but somehow it never happened. Sorry to hear there is no future for the station..... @radiofreefedi hats off and all the love to radio free fedi 💜 I wish I had found it sooner, and I'm sorry it's going away. Sincere thanks, and best wishes for the future. :artcapy2:   @radiofreefedi thanks for coordinating all this great stuff you were able to help share to the world. It's been a great ride and I hope your next adventures bring meaningful, if different, value with more sustainability. @radiofreefedi I'm really sorry to hear this but as someone who's worked on a number of volunteer/pro bono art projects and platforms over the years, I fully get where you're coming from. Thank you for the tremendous resource you created and nurtured, and let's hope it inspires someone else to launch their own cool project. @radiofreefedi this is sad to hear. Your support and work in the fedi music scene has been huge and wonderful. I’m glad you’re able to take care of yourself, though. RFF will be missed  It sucks to see this, but I get it. It's hard work, and I know how much you loved doing it... but one person can't hold everything together. I hate to see it, but I am glad you were able to make a brave decision like this for yourself, and frankly for the project. My heart is with you, friend. @radiofreefedi thank you so much for everything. You did something really remarkable with RFF.  @radiofreefedi every radio project pop up I've ever come across has been a delight and I appreciated them for the time they existed. (Probably because of my early experience with HS radio). Your efforts sit well in my mind as another source of delight. Thank you and all for everything that you provided, and thanks for airing some Banjo Patterson! |

Since inception, RFF has spoken in a resoundingly positive voice. It is something many of us need to hear and feel, yet often hard to sustain against web and life factors. It's one of most difficult and exhausting roles I've ever endured.
I hope you might help carry the reigns of music and art chief positivity officer(s) in the feed at least around celebrating independent art. I will need to be less available for this during sunset. This wasn't tech, this wasn't a platform, it was people.
