Funkwhale is building a new mechanism to filtering out music from Nazis and White Supremacists. In doing so, this opens a can of worms.

The Funkwhale music platform is alive and in active development, and they’re working on a feature to filter far-right artists off the network. Some Fediverse self-hosters are divided on letting a third party decide what should be allowed in their library.

    What exactly is funkwhale? It looks like a federated music platform of some sort?

      It’s basically an open source, federated clone of GrooveShark, which was kind of like Plex but just for music.
