I’m diving into the concept of open/ free music. I love and live foss IT stuff and would like to move to open music as well.

Is there some notable movement? Apps? Servers like peertube but for music? How to contribute? How to follow artists/ support artists

There’s a section in the free music wikipedia article which I’m currently browsing. What’s your experience? How do you live with free music?

I’m not interested in using it for video production but as an end user who’s part of the foss movement.

    Completely off-topic from the original post, but is updoot like the common alternative term for upvote in Lemmy like toot for Mastodon v. tweet for Twitter?

      Yeah. It’s originally from Reddit, though.

      I believe it predates Lemmy and isn’t particularly associated with it. I would endorse adopting it either formally or informally, though.
