A really cool development from @mirlo enabling artists to turn on ActivityPub and make their profile federate! 🐦⬛
If you’re musician with a Mirlo account you can go and switch it on and let your followers know the handle so they can receive updates in their timeline. 🕺
Go to Manage Artist Page -> Edit Artist Details to find it! ✏️

Two things!
1st: New track #release: "Goin' Mirlo".
- https://mirlo.space/die-nmi/release/various
Why is that?
2nd: Because I moved most of my stuff away from #Soundcloud today. This company is now feeding my work to unspecified AI companies, and no. I am sick of doing free creative commons for company suckers. I do music for humans. Not for AI. So good bye, soundcloud.
What remains there is an #antifa track (can't be wrong to train AIs to be anti fascist), an old noisy track of mine from 1989, and this one. To cut deeply into their flesh or so :)
I can only recommend to do that to other musicians as well, as long as you don't want to have strange AI clones of your music around (but without your spirit) and other people making money out of it.
If you move away, try to stay away from shady dark patterns infested "upload your music" services.
Personally I've decided to move from Soundcloud to #Mirlo Space (hence the title) - here are those guys: @mirlo . I've watched them for almost a year trying to enable something different, something cooperative style for and together with musicians and not for some companies sake. Trust takes time, and I think I can trust the Mirlo gang now ;) .
You still have other options in case you wanna move away from Soundcloud – a complete other model would be i.E. self hosting your #music with something as cool as #faircamp . Just don't stumble into the fangs of the next musicians spirits sucking company, doing this not for your benefit but for their shareholders. That won't go well. Never unfortunately.

Maybe rather than talking about federating everything on the web, we need to talk about federating what, and how.
In an interview with Simon Vansintjan from Mirlo, he talks about anyone with an account on their platform can create a music blog. It would be great to be able to subscribe to one of those blogs via ActivityPub, and get a notification in nu fediverse account whenever they publish new post.
