Recently I was thinking about mixtapes 📻 .

Mixtapes were like a personalized way to discover music, free of algorithms or AI. If I wanted an introduction to a band or genre my friend loved, I'd ask them for a mixtape. Or I might get a mixtape from a cutie and discover a whole new kind of music.

Making mixtapes rewards creativity. A mixtape isn't a top 10 most played songs. It's a short story that flows from feeling to feeling.

@mixpal is a tiny, federated mixtape sharing service. The idea is: log into MixPal with your Fediverse account. Ask the Fediverse for a mixtape. The bot will boost your request, and maybe someone will be inspired to reply with the perfect playlist. ⭐

MixPal is brand new, so it will cherish your follows, requests, and replies: https://mixpal.net
