Ça y est: Zoomacom propose une instance de @Castopod, auto-hébergée et pilotée depuis la Loire pour garder la main sur vos contenus, plutôt que de passer par les grandes plateformes américaines, leurs conditions générales d’utilisation à géométrie variable, leurs publicités invasives basées sur la captation des données personnelles, et pour certaines… leurs grands patrons aux accointances politiques suspectes…

I'm concerned that our lack of progress on cross-app comments is going to leave more developers to build on top of third-party-owned platforms, like Bluesky.

Besides the ownership and control of third-party platforms, Bluesky specifically is an extremely problematic platform.

Instead, we need cross-app comments to be portable, platform-agnostic, and give the moderation control to the podcaster, not the platform.

Which Free and Open Source Software do you use and/or recommend for podcasting? (OS, DAW, planning, remote recording, transcription, plugins, player…)

I have to admit @Castopod is really slick for self-hosting your podcast. Now if your podcast gets uber popular you might want to think about a professional host, but for stuff that is for a particular audience, Castopod might be just right.

I would love to see a DevRoom dedicated to Podcasting at @fosdem 2026!
Would you?

Here is the recording of my and @benjaminbellamy’s demo at FOSDEM.

We implemented the Web Monetization Activity Streams specification into @Castopod and @Mastodon (branch) to enable people to automatically and passively pay content creators they spend time with.

The Web Monetization browser extension and first regulated financial institutions to support the Interledger Protocol will launch this year.
