I thought it was clear from context I was talking about X.

Most of those are lesser evils compared to X, and that’s probably the best you can hope for. And Bluesky is the obvious alternative lesser evil choice if you want a like for like replacement and aren’t open to Mastodon.

If you’re technically inclined, self-host navidrome or jellyfin.

If you just want music and don’t care about the streaming part, bandcamp (although it does have some basic streaming I believe.

If you want streaming and aren’t technically inclined, Tidal.

I get where you’re coming from, but it’s not like there aren’t multiple obvious alternatives (and not just on the fediverse). And someone being clued in enough to boycott Spotify should have no trouble finding those alternatives. Additionally, the platform being owned by an outright Nazi should give even the most out of touch people pause.

But agreed that people could stand to be a bit more tactful about it and not immediately go on the attack.

Not to mention giving 100s of millions of dollars to fund Joe Rogan and his extreme right-wing propaganda.
