kids, as you get ready for your summer break, consider using it to convince your favorite musicians to join the fediverse. thank.
Related thought: are there any Mastodon instances dedicated to music? And if so, do they support audio-only uploads?
(Checking joinmastodon.com, I see instances for *discussing* music, but -- at a glance, anyway -- nothing for people who *create* music.)
@gled @djsundog So PeerTube only does video?
I hadn't heard of FunkWhale -- I am intrigued!
(Found this: https://funkwhale.audio/)
@woozle @gled @djsundog register on https://funkwhale.mastodon.host and dm me your username :)
That's a PeerTube instance -- I don't think it federates with Mastodon, does it?
This I did not know!
How do you get a user's URL, so as to find them on Mastodon?

Okay, that worked. Thanks!
In case you're worried about fakery and spoofs, we are working on a system.
We will know it 'is' them and not a sock puppet as they will have the official Fediverse barcode laser etched on their forehead which activates their browser and login, via their laptop camera.
It's the only way to maintain credibility.
It hasn't got to be their head, it could be any part of their body that they are happy to point at an on-line camera.
Although we may have a potential issue with Iggy Pop.
I'll get legal onto it asap.
