ok, people.

ok, people. thats an interesting question which kinda kills me

what are we going to use after bandcamp goes into full shit mode?
it was sold multiple times, half (or more) of its og staff are not there anymore. they are forcing musicians to switch to stripe, which is shit.

i'm legit confused about the future of me being able to release stuff on my own

[tsrono@mastodon.social]

@toffo counterpoint: PayPal is shit. not really used Stripe, heard good & bad. will see in a few months i guess?

there's a number of services like @mirlo who are forging a path, & seem to be doing things well!

i've also heard good of @Ampwall but not looked into it.

some folks were praising Subvert but i think it's mostly a veiled crypto/startup style rugpull. maybe a bit harsh but i don't see any good path for it, looked into it a bit, it's a nope from me.

@tsrono @mirlo @Ampwall
well yep - but the main problem here is that they force me to use a different type of shit which is harder to set up!
amazing.

we need alternatives, anyways. and hopefully there will be one

[tsrono@mastodon.social]

@toffo ah, devil you know & all that.

alternatives already exist, & there's others not coming to mind rn, hopefully some other folks are chiming up w/ those.
