  Like peertube for music yes. Maybe not as feature complete yet but it aims to be similar.

  Federation doesnt automatically share the actual audio files but peer tube also doesnt work like that either really. Funkwhale users can follow each other and have shared playlists across pods though.

  In theory funkwhale can be private, but no one is going to bother you for having a public one. Mine had been running for 2 years without any takedown requests.

  If enough people started using funkwhale to the point it actually affected spotifys revinue, but as much as i would like for that to happen, i dont think its very likely.

  Well if thats your goal buy their music or merch, or just send them cash directly, most artists are on bandcamp, smaller artists will at least have a venmo or cashapp you can send to.

  Artists arent making their rent money on whatever pittance spotify pays them, you would do more good for the actual artist if you just promoted their work and gave them a few bucks directly.

  Why not just stop using spotify? You cant possibly stream enough to cost them more then they earn in a month they earn from you using them. Even on mute they can still count you as an active user when it comes to selling ads and promiting themselves.

  If you really want to hurt spotify, use one of the services like Soundiiz that lets you export your lists and library, grab a 2 month trial of tidal for $2 and point tidal-dl to download it all for offline use. Get yourself a nice dedicated music player like a classic ipod running rockbox. If space is an issue convert from flac to opus.

  If you really, really, want to hurt spotify do what i did and take the above instructions and then also spin up your own FunkWhale pod so everyone can also enjoy that music without giving corporations like spotify a dime.

  You arent going beat corporations by using their products “too much”, the way to beat them is to replace them with self hosted alternatives.
