Slightly off topic: I kinda wish Lemmy would set the first link in text posts as the post link, that would really help integration with other platforms.

Hey, you’re on the Fediverse. You’ll rarely see anyone promote anything that isn’t decentralised, even less that is not FOSS.

Friendica, Mobilizon and Hubzilla can all be compared to Facebook. I have an accound on Friendica and I like how well it supports federation with all Fediverse platforms, from Mastodon to Lemmy.

Same as with most artists, go to their website and you’ll find the bandcamp/faircamp/etc page, in this case:

• https://galaxie500.bandcamp.com/
• https://damonandnaomi.bandcamp.com/

There are plenty of better ways to obtain music, such as actually buying the music instead of streaming it. And, hey, that’s like saying you’d stay on Reddit because that’s where the content is. Ethics should come before easy entertainment.

The best way is always to buy the music directly from the artist, in this case:

• https://galaxie500.bandcamp.com/
• https://damonandnaomi.bandcamp.com/

I love Weird Al! But pretty sure this was hyperbole. The point still stands, though. It really is depressing that people just follow “everybody else” when giving abusive megacorporations money. Same with social media, especially when there are great, healthy, ethical alternatives to be found is the Fediverse.

Edit: I’ll just link pixelfed just because…
