I wanted to ask him about the potential for a similar model in the music industry, where musicians can connect, share, and innovate together.Andy also talks about his work at Mastodon, and the platform's commitment to decentralization and community-driven content in a federated social network.For more information about Oggcamp, visit https://www.oggcamp.orgYou can also follow Andy on his blog at https://andypiper.co.ukLorenzo's Music Website - https://www.lorenzosmusic.com
