What if we added a P2P element so we could share our music and own it instead of streaming it? Oh wait, that's soulseek.

Who keeps posting this? This feels inches away from a monetized subscription service.

What are you saying? This is an open source project that is connected to the fediverse. It aims to be something comparable to soundcloud where people can share their music. What about this is says monetization?

The publishing referenced in the ad copy. There's no talk of how licensing is handled or who hosts what where. Just because it starts off as OSS and self hosted does not mean it stays that way.

I am unsure if I understand you correctly. Funkwhale is for you to publish music or other audio you make yourself. Not for your commercial music library. And the software itself is under the GNU AGPLv3. You can host the software yourself on your own server or you join an instance of someone else. Just like lemmy, mastodon or all the other fediverse projects.

I don't think you're supposed to host music you don't have the rights to. I think you're supposed to post your own music

And possible federation as well, very nice. Is this using SolidPods or did they just name their* server similarly?

The website looks like it's trying to sell me something

I have no idea why open source projects would want to use illustrations with this big tech corporate artstyle in their apps and documetation pages.

They seem to get them from https://undraw.co

It looks clean, maybe not very original but better than a early 2000s looking-ass website

I'd welcome an early 2000s website because it shows the developer can have some fun.
