@kawaiipunk they ve sent an email too that said: "Over years, I have made several improvements... daily backups and media files served via CDN. While increasing the costs on my end, I could maintain the prices and old plan limits. Some limits on old plans were, in fact, not even enforced, as the influx of new subscribers was enough to balance the extra cost of older ones. Unfortunately, this is no longer the case, and I had to change the limits on old plans to match the new ones."
@kawaiipunk they explained it very well. i think they care quite a lot and are friendliest and supportive as few. the price rise hasn't much to do with recession or inflation but unrealistic old plans and how resources were being assessed.
Extremely happy about this huge update to #BeYourOwnPlatform site dedicated to artists' digital autonomy. There's a lot more to be done, reorganize content into a better form, but this marks a big milestone. It's now in at least decent form.
I have added a lot from my presentations from last year, but now I also have more ideas how to shape this further.
warm welcome all new users of fediverse - mastodons pixelfeds, and many others!
gentle reminder about the fact that fediverse has no financial backing, no investments. your subscriptions, followers, etc, are (in majority of cases) paid from somebody's pocket/bank.
please seek those people who are paying for this space for you, and - if you can afford - help them continue providing space on fediverse for you.
in other words, DONATE TO YOUR LOCAL ADMINS and MODERATORS!
does anyone know of a blog-like cms with features: - self-hostable - subscribe to posts with email - rss - activityPub - supports images upload - posts in markdown in webUI - smolweb/minimalist - no nodeJS
i think this is so important to many of us working within arts: that our sweat and tears (our work that we love doing by itself) are connected to a shared experience by listeners - that an act of listening (watching, looking, seeing, immersing-in..) is a foregrounded experience, which is then shared (feeding -forward or -back). receiving a response on an album means something completely different then a metric of amount of listens or purchases.
so in the context of above thoughts (and taking into account that by buying a digital album on a fair platform brings much needed coins for bills), you can bring so much light into artist life by taking a minute or more to write them what experience _their work_ brought into _your life_.
i feel that is uncomparable to any metric (number of stream, downloads, views, followers)
it's 3€, but by Thursday, when it'll be fully released, it will be name-your-price, so if you're low on funds for (good?) music, you can wait. otherwise your support and funding of art (released into the commons) is highly appreciated!
@axwax i've done matrix video calls before it works but your matrix server (or client, i',m not sure) needs a TUN server too or something.
otherwise yes. we can work via beyond faircamp room AND also beyourownplatform.site wiki on codeberg. if you have an account on codeberg, just let me know so that I can add you to that organization
since so many artists most of the time have difficulty promoting themselves but it's easier for them to promote other artists.... maybe we need to band together and start some kind of self-organized artist-run pr/marketing grass-roots agency/coop where we switch those roles for each other?
i think some kind of a video call we be a good start, where we start talking about what we know and how we can share knowledge and resources and tasks for each other... we call it.... FediWavePR? tbh it is a question if such a thing can work? do we have time for this?
@JRepin nek tak moderen tehno-rek mi je pogosto zanimiv, čeprav se zdi na morda začetku neroden. ampak če nam je všeč (in meni je) 'odrast', ne vem zakaj ne bi uporabljali 'odsledi'
