With the music I make I'm looking to embrace to more censorship-resistant technologies. I just released my latest EP with a pay-what-you-want model via Bandcamp and have not released to mainstream platforms. Although I'm planning to do a special release which includes messages telling listeners to look at v4v options instead of feeding the beast (if I can sneak it in, that is). Looking forward to exploring NOSTR and v4v this year!

I’m doing the same…. I use Castopod which is a self hosted option for releasing as RSS/Podcasting 2.0. Also on Bandcamp and Mirlo as pay what you like. Good luck!
Thanks for introducing me to Mirlo! It looks like it's what I *wished* Bandcamp was (philosophically, at least). I'm not keen on a monthly subscription service right now so castopod looks like a good option for me. Right now I'm trying to get my head around RSS/podcasting 2.0 as a user before I try adding my content. I've allowed myself to become complacent on those large platforms!
At this point in time. The only solid investment of time and energy is #demu #v4v podcast2. I wouldn't delete anything from bandcamp, but it's absolutely not worth any further work. It's neither going to help you, nor your audience. You might want to have a track or two everywhere with links to your real deal, in the eventuality someone tries to look you up. Take it from someone who's spent over 20 years in the trenches of digital independence closely observing and probing pretty much every enshittifier of the web.
