I’d like to call it Fedivision.
I know Lemmyvision exists and it is awesome but it focuses on country instances, whereas Fedivision would be about the fediverse as a whole and would see each instance as a potential contestant. Lemmy, mastodon, misskey, pixelfed you name it.
And yes, unlike Lemmyvision, Fedivision will be about people singing, composing, mixing (sometimes bad) songs, not submissions of songs from original artists. Contestants will be able to sing or play an existing song or submit something they cooked themselves.
I feel like this approach is more compatible with Fediverse in general, as all instances already act like a country: they have their own culture, people, and “laws”. Fedivision will be about the culture of each instance instead of countries.
I want to make it a reality, I need help and feedback from y’all. I am not really an artist in any way, so it would be really cool if somebody cooked a poster.
Do you think this is feasible? What would you like to add? Let me know.
@django@discuss.tchncs.de in the comment section pointed out that fedivision already happened in the past. It seems like fedivision worked fine with fully original content so I might just make the contest about original songs to save on copyright headache. I’ll probably just call it a continuation of fedivision with the same name.
Regarding the Avril Lavigne lawsuit, it happened during the times when music industry was particularly being assholes, but I get what you mean: we can never guess how far
billionaire protectionahem copyright laws can go.
