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.

You can decide what music you listen to. Anyway a band being too politcal won't make bad music, you don't have to agree to their ideas to appreciate the music

Isn't that the age old "Is Burzum NSBM" discussion. Vikernes is definitely a Nazi, but his music, as in texts etc, isn't infested with Nazi ideology much unlike much more clear-cut NSBM: It's not National-Socialist Black Metal, but Black Metal than happens to be created by a National Socialist.

IMO in the end I don't mind you listening to, or even liking, Burzum, but please have the moral wherewithal to pirate. If that means you can't have them on the platform because you'd be exposed to lawsuits, then so be it. Fuck Vikernes, he made his own bed.
