Anyone can collect the data anyway, and I'm sure at least one person out there is already harvesting our Fediverse data.

Yes!!! Loved that game, was one of my favourites. Look up Satellite Reign by 5 Lives Studios, some of the original creators built a modern retake ("spiritual successor" in their words) because they loathed the fuckup created by EA.

If you want to go one step further, isolate/sandbox your media player, browser and torrenting apps in firejail.

Spotify will end service in Uruguay due to bill requiring fair pay for artists in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

Success! I mean I just found the comment funny. You need at least one sarcastic comment in a thread where everyone is super serious, more might be a bit too much.

As a collectice we really have to pull together to solve things like this, but it's often a problem of gaining traction, chicken-and-egg. I mean if everyone using Lemmy decides to switch over from Spotify to something else it will hardly make a dent, but it we could enable mass mobilization through offering free migration to a service undercutting Spotify we might make a dent, but even this is not ideal because it's centralisation again.

We need an effective mechanism to give big organization's flak. One (somewhat impractical) technical solution might be to build a wrapper around all these platforms and then choose to play music through whomever is more aligned with the right goal(s), such as customer satisfaction and fair artist payouts.

The idea of a DAO type organization comes to mind where our collective moral beliefs can be codified
