It might sound weird to say this about the impact of a website, but Bandcamp really has transformed my musical interests and, as a result, my life. I have been able to cultivate & help support a small, shifting, virtual community of artists and listeners that I learned from over the past 13 years. So, it is very sad to hear about the recent sell-off and layoffs.

@edsu All of the Mastodon posts about #BandCamp should probably try to give a shout to @bandcampunited to give the Bandcamp workers a view into what else exists. Maybe some former Bandcamp employees would be interested in helping start/continue music co-ops.
@lwriemen @bandcampunited updating my post -- thanks for the reminder!
