AFAIK Gitea incorporated as a for-profit (which was supported), but there was some perceived(not intended to throw shade on any side here, just keeping it neutral) shady-ness from the perspective of the community. You can read more here in the open letter: https://gitea-open-letter.coding.social/

Very much. This feels a bit like the internet of old, before we all got tunnelled into giant socmed monoliths.

The only thing I can think of would be Roon. Some drawbacks though. It’s proprietary and it’s a paid service. It’s very, very good for playing and streaming local music though. They put a lot of work in to their metadata, and do have recommendations in place. You can also get artists/songs/albums like this. There’s no curated lists yet, but AFAIK it’s in the pipeline.

I use it for all my local music. Both at-home and outside streaming work great. There’s still some work for them to do with tagging more obscure styles correctly, like Future funk.
