Many thanks to friends of the station old and new that have secured 91% of infra funding for the next year. It is a load I cannot carry and having zero existential crisis when the server bills pop up is how we carry on.
With your help we can continue to explore how alternative discovery layers and community emphasis can help invigorate if not help sustain our creative cousins.
Le petit écosystème de musique libre qui se développe sur le #fedivers, autour de #radioFreeFedi, #fedivision, #Faircamp, #Mirlo et d’autres est le parfait exemple de ce qu’il faudrait faire dans un maximum de domaines. Contourner les multinationales, créer du lien, de l’entraide, du circuit court.
Si vous le pouvez, au lieu de donner du fric au géants du show-business, donnez des sous à @radiofreefedi ou @mirlo (une coopérative prometteuse) ou directement aux artistes.

Prochain achat prévu ici pour le Bandcamp Friday. Ce sera mon deuxième achat en "circuit court" seulement, le dernier datait d'il y a environ 20 ans 😆
Ocarina of Time (Super Guitar Bros). Album disponible à l'écoute et en clip intégral sur YouTube, mais vu le niveau musical, un achat CD se justifie totalement à mes yeux. @mirlo@radiofreefedi@Looping
The 4th Annual Fedivision Song Contest has concluded. What an incredible event, and indeed, an amazing achievement by the organisers of the event. 🎉

Congratulations to every single person who entered their music! It’s been so much fun listening to your tracks. All of them!! 🫶
Shout out to Radio Free Fedi (@radiofreefedi) for hosting the pop-up channel for the event! They’ve done an amazing job! 👍
Congratulations to our winner, @keefmarshall for their incredible piece “Misaligned Aardvarks”! 🏆
Congrats to our runner up @negativeplayers for their amazing song “The New Rage”! ✌️
Big love to everyone who voted “All Zombies Go To Heaven” into 3rd place. Out of 72 entries, you humble me. Thank you. ☺️
I’m honoured to share the top ten with all the excellent artists who got a shoutout from the Fedivision Vote Bot. The entire selection is an amazing collection of impressive works!! 🥂

We hope you had a chance to enjoy some of the light hearted overwhelmingly warm and supportive artist and friendly fedizen sharing and discourse for this years FediVision.
In line with the event organisers and their schedule, RFF will keep the pop-up channel running for the next week.
Everyone who submitted a track and moreso everyone who shared some feedback and fun around music, art and community are winners! Still, keep an eye out for @vote to countdown the "top 10" vote receiving tracks.
For those who haven’t heard of this huge online event, Fedivision is an annual song contest for members of the Fediverse! Fedivision 2024 has seventy-two new, original pieces created by people from the Fedi-community.

NOTE: IF YOUR VOTE IS SUCCESSFUL, YOU WILL GET CONFIRMATION FROM THE VOTE BOT!
Step 4: Follow and use the #Fedivision and #Fedivision2024 hashtags to participate in the conversation. Follow @announce for updates, and follow @vote for the contest results.
Reviewing #Fedivision is daunting, an endeavour that’s taken days, but it’s really satisfying to listen carefully to each song and write something about it.
I’ve added a link to my review thread, and have added other review threads in the comments.

Another option is the pop-up channel by #RadioFreeFedi which has the entire 72 track playlist on repeat, in alphabetical order by voting code.
I’ve listened to every song in #Fedivision at least four times. So many great tunes to choose from. My short-list got down to ten songs and I would have loved to have enough votes for all of them. I have picked three and put my votes in. I didn’t vote for my own entry because then I would really only be voting for two songs, so my three votes went out to other entries. Best of luck to everyone who entered and thank you to everyone else who listened, got hyped, and votes in #Fedivision2024, and of course a huge dose of gratitude to everyone involved in organising and running the event.
Big love to you all!!

So I’m sitting in the lounge-room, on the lounge, because that’s where I sit when I sit in the lounge-room, and as I’m sitting, I’m listening to the #Fedivision2024 stream on #RadioFreeFedi, when suddenly, a gorilla starts throwing barrels! Throwing barrels!!

And then the Aardvarks were all misaligned!!!

The community and our services continue to grow. Keeping the RFF tower broadcasting is a force multiplier for helping indie creatives promote their work and connect with support in we hope, a positive community setting for artists and listeners.
Sorry to step back to this thread. We didn't secure annual costs on first ask nor any new offers for help with station and community development projects.
Huge love to those who have bumped the lights on infra fund to October and all who've contributed previously.
If you're newer to RFF and have the means please check up this thread for various ways to help or reach out in DM.
We'll keep this vibe going in solidarity with our creative siblings as long as the community allows.
