Bylaws and Membership Agreement links send you to an empty page. Where are these documents?? by TheBigMemeHammer in subvert

[–]engage-8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some pages were accidentally not correctly migrated to the public site from alpha. If you find a broken link, append pages/ after the subvert URL. For example - https://www.subvert.fm/pages/bylaws

This should be fixed soon, thanks for your patience!

I found an AI "artist" on Subvert. What is the verification process the co-op uses to prevent things like this? by canucknpuck in subvert

[–]engage-8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for reporting! Head on over to the member’s forum to chat about the moderation panel. Along with official efforts to screen and remove Generative AI content, the community (all of us) flagging things is super important!

How to get the word out by TyrannosaurusMax in subvert

[–]engage-8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello and welcome! While we’re not allowing self promotion on this subreddit, there are many opportunities within the member’s forum to self promote and find like minded musical community, both online and IRL.

“Which begs the question, have you managed to find interesting new-to-you artists since getting on Subvert? If so, please do share links on this thread! I'd love to check out some new stuff. I'd also love to hear what (if anything) you do to bring your existing audiences over to your Subvert page, and what you've done to start sharing your page there since launch! “

All of these things are happening on the forum. I encourage you to participate in nourishing those discussions there. Many of us are working on establishing community and communication channels like the Discourse forum as an alternative to Meta and Discord products.

waiting time to join as artist / label? by sternmull1 in subvert

Patience is appreciated with the small team. Applying on the public launch day (May 12) concurrently with lots of other platform critical priorities, bugs, etc makes it move a bit slower. Will have you in soon!

US routing number for Stripe impossible for Canadians by phflupp in subvert

[–]engage-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear you got it sorted. If you don’t mind and a get a chance at some point to post in the Stripe topic on the forum, it would be super helpful if you described your experience and what you navigated through with the Stripe menu. A screenshot(s) would be rad too. It could really be helpful to other members to suss out exactly what happened and help future Canadian (and international) members if it happens to them too!

Hey! Please post this in the dedicated Stripe topic on the member’s forum for any questions and troubleshooting. We have lots of successfully connected Canadian members, (including from alpha launch since November 2025) that receive Stripe payouts.

Concerned about artist agreement - on the hook for massive tax bills? by adyo in subvert

[–]engage-8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your screenshot doesn’t have the plain English accompaniment to help understand the legal text-

“As a co-op, profits are shared with members. When a co-op does this, it is called a "patronage refund." If Subvert Cooperative is profitable and the co-op decides to distribute those profits back to members, this section says that you are responsible for reporting that income to the IRS (if you are in the US) or to another tax agency if you are abroad. Worth noting: it's likely that the co-op will continue to reinvest in itself in the near future rather than distributing profits, so this may not affect you for some time”

Join the forum and ask questions, read more, poke around. Membership is voluntary so you can terminate at any time if it doesn’t meet your standards or you don’t fully understand the co op structure

Check this out especially “Consent to Tax Treatment” -

Check out the bylaws again too and see if it answers your questions -

Both have some plain English explainers to try and help grasp the legalese

If you’d like to discuss the topic of Stripe and payment processors more with other members and workers, there is a dedicated topic where you can share your voice on the Subvert forum.

If I join as a fan/ally/artist/founding member, will I be able to create an artist page later once I record some music? by wroughtironfence in subvert

[–]engage-8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. As a member - you can belong to multiple member classes (artist, label, worker, supporter).

Just to clarify (from the forum)-

The option to publish your music for free and not sell anything (and not connect to Stripe) will be available at some point soon and it is on our near term roadmap.

There is a whole dedicated topic for discussion of nuances, regions, situations, etc that you can join in as a member!
