And now it's time for a "very specific to me" gripe: For goddess' sake... post the direct URL to your podcast's RSS feed. You don't have to encourage people to use it. Just put it there, for assholes like me, who don't want to listen to your podcast on fucking Spotify.

  • @cyberpunklibrarian@masto.hackers.town I dunno if that's SUPER specific to you. :) I find myself frustrated about that too, often. I think anyone who uses a podcast app that they like would apprecite that. I do wonder if maybe there are a lot of people who literally don't have an RSS feed, though, and publish directly to Spotify. While I would argue that that might technically make it not a podcast, it might still be a thing.

    @cyberpunklibrarian@masto.hackers.town Is there a federated Activity Pub solution for hosting your own podcasts? Why feed surveillance capitalism platforms like spotify? Set yourself free and use a federated platform or better yet, self host ;-). All spotify does for you is exploitation, and if you don’t control the platform you may find yourself competing with fascists and nazis for attention from the algorithm 🤮

    @cyberpunklibrarian@masto.hackers.town Not that specific to you. The difficulty there is an RSS feed is a bad experience for a human. Tools like pod.link are good for linking

    @cyberpunklibrarian@masto.hackers.town Yes, please! I'm not going anywhere near Spotify, Itunes, or any of that stuff. I just want to use my Open Source podcatcher. I need the RSS feed, please.
