Notices by radio scream fedi (radiofreefedi@musician.social)

RFF is entering maintenance/sunset mode.

We've helped empower, amplify and motivate the music community within the Fediverse by celebrating artist consent and agency, direct support, and promoting quality sounds.

If you've participated along the way, you can be proud of the gauntlet we've thrown down for community and vibes and the discovery, collaboration and support fomented.

We'll accept music submissions until mid-Dec and the station will power down in Jan 2025.

Shannon Curtis: The Good to Me Tour: Radio Free Fedi Exclusive Online Performance

How will empathetic people survive the troubles of this time? How do we rescue our overburdened spirits from overlapping disasters such as rising fascism and climate collapse? And from where can we summon the power to heal ourselves, our communities, and the planet?

Just tapping the sign. Mute some hashtags if you must. But do be kind to the bard class scrambling to find their voice, durable community and support.

We should continue to do our best to support artists as directly as possible, as amiably as we can, on the terms and platforms they can manage.

So happy Friday y'all. While every day is the best day to support independent artists, maybe help amplify the wave on a day like today!

This all holds up:
https://blog.radiofreefedi.net/happy-bandcampfriday-faircampfriday-fridayfriday-fridayiminlove-or-just-plain

#bandcampFriday #music

A fresh note because of the day. If you think these are too often, please mute some tags or consider walking in our shoes. Many artists can't possibly have enough days where it feels like community is lifting them up and there is help with promotion, discovery, comradery and material support for those that need it, orders of magnitude better than streaming crumbs or exhausting performative posting to the void via walled gardens.

Stay awesome out there friends and be kind.

#bandcampFriday

I can't emphasise enough how much MORE and different tracks you will encounter on the Specialty channel that you will not hear on Main and Comfy.

For instance right now, absolute #club thumpers on the CLUB RFF block.

https://radiofreefedi.net

Expand your diverse and growing list of #artists to support, friends to make.

Make a date to explore a theme or genre you might love or get to love:

#metal #singerSongwriter #chipTunes #synthWave #ambient #experimental #newMusic

If you like weird and wild sounds, counterpoint, drone, noise, collage, soundscape, avant, sampling, harsh, power electronics, you'll find all these things and more on the EXPERIMENTS IN RFF block #nowPlaying on the Specialty channel.

Just one of our fun specialty blocks where you can opt-in to go a bit deeper with more tracks and longer play times that you won't hear on our other channels.

Outside the feed we have a various chat rooms for public discourse and feedback, offering of help or moral support to the project and community, comradery and planning and organising for possible station initiatives and projects. https://matrix.to/#/#radioFreeFedi:matrix.org

We know there's no ideal answer to chat. I often very much need feedback OFF the feed for projects and special events that might not materialise so as not to falsely inflate expectations. If help should appear, RFF can do more the things!

11/

So join the party! Drop in and discover awesome artists who'd love to hear from you!

Submit music, writing or voice and grow community diversity!

Listen, help boost, promote or fuel an artist with a kind word of support. There are many small ways you can help us make more ripples of good for supporting independent art and community.
