What obligation do #platformcoops have to operate at the same scale as or even outperform their venture capital funded corporate counterparts? If a #platformcoop does not succeed in having a similar reach as major corporations with comparable features, should it be considered "low quality" or are there other standards of success worth considering?
How exactly do you define decentralised solutions though?
Aren't coops like #JamCoop and @mirlo, or #SelfHosted sites just that? (Admittedly without federation)
#DIY, #artisanal, #coop and #OpenSource solutions usually won't be able to compete with big businesses when it comes to price and/or convenience, just like your community supported farm can't compete with Aldi.

Anyway here's the #Bandcamp link: https://djomnimaga.bandcamp.com/album/dream-of-omnimaga
On the eve of #FairtradeMusic Friday, I present puppet jealousy and scandal for those who may have been too afraid to watch before (💥 📞 ), plus some of my online homes.
Also, if you use streaming services, do you use them to discover music to buy on #Bandcamp, @mirlo, #jamcoop, from a record shop or similar, or is the streaming source where you do all your listening? Just curious about whether your music habits have changed in the last few years. #Music#Listening#Streaming#Playlists
I have nothing new released on BandCamp today - but if you want to have a look at some folk who are considering doing things differently, then I have an exclusive release on
