I’m asking if there is a greatly moderated and curated Spotify-like Funkwhale instance, where only verified creators can upload songs, and with the respect of copyrighted content.
Why do I need one like this?
Because Spotify started to make my life harder, and they are not caring about me so much as well, only about my data. They block VPNs and stuff. I appreciate every help.
last.fm did a better job and it was based on a similar concept, only less commercialized. It used to be quite popular in Europe, but quickly got overrun by Spotify, which really just sucks. A federated replacement is badly needed!
I miss how good last.fm was around ~2010
