@AbelowRob Yeah and I can see all of them will creating more equitable music cultures and benefitting music communities. How is Bandcamp acquisition positive?

[gary-martin @ambiguouslygm]

@austinrobey_ @nick__pattison is this no longer a thing?

[Chris @Cajoleas]

using the term "superfans" to justify extracting even more value from fans and calling it a strategy is the most mind-numbing thing to keep reading

tech talking your way to manipulating the few people that care about you is bad for everyone

being a music fan sucks right now

[gary-martin @ambiguouslygm]

@roseymorwenna Ah of course! My brain was in music workshop mode so that I missed that hah

[gary-martin @ambiguouslygm]

@phoenixperry Wow! This looks so good!

[gary-martin @ambiguouslygm]

@katepatto Wow, sounds great! Is there an online presence for any of this?

[gary-martin @ambiguouslygm]

I don’t want meme coins, NFT art, or crypto.

I want a sandbox for shared ownership, collective control, creative agency, and new power relationships.

@Humane In 2023 ‘human-centred’ and ‘prioritising the user’ are at odds with ‘ethical’.

[gary-martin @ambiguouslygm]

@matthewherbert totally. I'd be up for helping sort experience design.

[gary-martin @ambiguouslygm]

I totally agree with this. It’s a shame that entrepreneur culture can often discourage this over setting up more and more groups/startups.

[gary-martin @ambiguouslygm]

@paulg I think picturing the mere survival of the planet can feel a little bit sci-fi these days.

[gary-martin @ambiguouslygm]

@elliottsphone Wow this is super lovely!
