#Mastodon is really giving me hope that maybe, just maybe, I can build a meaningful music community. Again. For like the 27th year. lol.

Open source radio. Decentralized music sharing/streaming. People building their own radio shows. I can do this. I hope you guys will help me along the way.

@ErickaSimone

I would love to do this - the radio show. Have thought about it for years. Never managed to get my act together and the barriers to entry were/are high.

@prachisrivas I’m so fed up with how music discovery and and sharing is going it’s almost like I’m forced to do it. Might be good for my career at this point. In need to learn more about it before jumping in.

@ErickaSimone

Agreed. It's also quite atomised so the experience of sharing or building community around music - a sense of bonding - is very difficult to achieve. It requires a lot more effort from individuals to learn about new or discover new/old music and artists, and of course, for the artists themselves to be found in meaningful ways. I hope you're able to pursue this.

@prachisrivas very atomized which is what makes it hard for me to figure out the best way of reaching as many people as possible. I’m figuring it out though.

@ErickaSimone not it exactly, but HearThis .at and mixcloud .com are kind of close. it's just radio shows put together by volunteers. not sure how hearthis does it, but mixcloud keeps saying they have contracts with labels to make sure artists get paid. so it's like an online archive of college radio shows. (self promotion: I'm at hearthis.at/trinib/ )

@MikeImBack this is exactly the type of thing I’m looking for. Still have an account with mixcloud but I want to dig into all the options.

@ErickaSimone oh nice! there's lots of great shows on mixcloud. I haven't looked around hearthis much, but I have found some really good stuff
