I'm a software developer working on a bunch of #Fediverse things: #Emissary, #Bandwagon, and bandwagon.fm - with several more in the pipeline.

It's a pretty strange mix that doesn't really fit today's Fediverse, but it makes sense when you see the end goal.

I got an opportunity at #Fedicon to explain myself, so here it is:

It's not the greatest talk about Fediverse tech, but it's the best I've got so far, and I hope it inspires you to make great things here with me.

@firesidefedi @benpate I really hope at some point #bandwagon #peertube and #mastodon can be made to work as a turnkey trio for artists ... That would be an unmatched killer #fediverse feature over the #evilcorps

A question for all of you on the #Fediverse (and especially #Musicians, #Writers, and #Artists) who sell your work online:

Do you know how you receive payments right now?

I want to connect the most fedi-friendly platforms into #Bandwagon, #Emissary, and beyond.. so I'd love to hear what works best for you :)

@sebsauvage Rien d'étonnant !
Qui utilise encore **Spotify** **qui ne paye plus les artistes **et qui finance l'industrie de l'armement ?…
Surtout qu'en parallèle, il y a :
- #bandwagon @bandwagon.fm
- #mirlo @mirlo
- #jamcoop @jamcoop
