Sad to see it getting flagged here, especially given the context of my post. I do appreciate that it got shared here and all the comments so far. I put a lot of work into this and I really appreciate that people are sharing it around.

I’d suggest a WordPress blog with ActivityPub installed, so your posts live on the fediverse too. This allows two way interactions and makes it easy for people to follow you from whichever way they find easiest (ie on Mastodon, or an RSS reader, or even email if you have that set up). The blog post at the top of this link is actually my blog. It’s been fun to see the comments today that were written on Mastodon, but appeared in the comments of my post. That’s what the two way interaction that ActivityPub provides and I’m always happy to see it in action. I made a video about this a few months back if you’d like to learn more https://youtu.be/t4pmWufYRr0?si=pfQQwb6pxUxIM6pq

Bandcamp workers voted in favor of a union in March 16th of this year. It was one year and a week after Epic acquired the company.

It's impossible to know what Epic is thinking know, or even when they bought BC, but 6 months sounds like how long it would take to sell Bandcamp off as a retaliation for unionizing.

Thanks so much for your replies. I'm updating my blog (which is linked at the top of this HN post) with the information I'm learning here. How would you like your name credited there? I have you listed as "nhod" for now. https://docpop.org/2023/07/some-updates-on-the-remote-lounge...

Thanks so much for joining this conversation, I’m a big fan of your work! Years before I joined any social network, the Remote Lounge already had me thinking about online sharing, consent, and the future of the web.

I’d really like To know how your experience working on The Remote Lounge affected the way you viewed the rise of Web 2.0 and the way we share our lives online.

Aw bummer, looks like there's something wrong with your cut and paste. Here, let me help you with the rest of the TOS description: "... Google Profiles requires you to use the name that you commonly go by in daily life."
