This looks interesting. Not federated or anything, but the general ethos seems in line with the Fediverse.

Let's be a bit cynical and devils advocate:
How will they finance the marketplace if no one will give off a cut to the platform and everything to the artist?

IMO the bandcamp day is the better compromise, but maybe increase the days (because I think they are a monthly thing, right?) to 2-4 times a month instead.

Not monthly with Bandcamp, sadly.

I suppose they could make a mandatory minimum if they needed to. It'll be interesting to see the numbers from this "donation" model first though. From the sounds of it the amount of paid staff sounds pretty minimal.
