Strypey"...the goal is that [BandWagon.fm] is maybe the hub of a network of servers. Maybe this is the first server people come to, set up all their stuff, and then use it to port out eventually to the server they want to be on. All those servers out there in the network, they could easily be run by small labels, or co-ops, or community organisations."<a href="https://mastodon.social/@benpate" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@benpate</a>, lead developer of Emissary and BandWagon, 2025<a href="https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/lorenzosmusic/episodes/Ben-Pate-of-Bandwagon-fm---Crafting-a-New-Site-for-Musicians-e31vrl7" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/lorenzosmusic/episodes/Ben-Pate-of-Bandwagon-fm---Crafting-a-New-Site-for-Musicians-e31vrl7</a><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/CommunityHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityHosting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/BandWagon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BandWagon</a>

StrypeyOMG I just remembered the BBS craze. Which happened in the decade or so between my childhood computers (Commodore 64), and owning my first PC, so I didn't get to participate. By the time I got back into computers, net connections, email and the web were a thing.But the BBS is one aspect of the future we need to build. A community-hosted server, offering members a range of services, connected to others via an open digital network.<a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/BBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BBS</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/CommunityHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommunityHosting</a>

StrypeyThe potential demise of the Feneas.org services reminds me again that the success of federated networks depends on reliable instances, and avoiding re-centralization requires more instances, not bigger ones.
