Back in the day I used to really like browsing soundcloud, listening to mashups, indie artists, and whatnot. Eventually soundcloud got too big and took down a lot of content (probably due to copyright) and introduced paid "pro" accounts. Is there a place like the early soundcloud on the fediverse?

there is FunkWhale
not sure how it compares to SoundCloud, but it is certainly some sort of successor to GrooveShark

Man I miss Grooveshark. Used to be awesome! Forgot what happened to it?

[–] dispenser@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It got taken down because there was so much licensed music uploaded to it, I believe

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well that was the whole purpose. What makes this Funkywhale any different?

[–] dispenser@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Federation, probably harder for music labels to go after so many instances?

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think the opposite. Most of the instances are closed/invite only, so there's no way to know if there's any improperly licensed music there. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Ah that’s funny, kind of like private trackers

That's a name I haven't heard in forever! They built so much hype around Grooveshark and I dont remember it ever even working.
