Youtube decides who can be monetized and who should be banned. Youtube even believes it can decide which words can be tolerated. Quite the opposite of podcasts where everyone is free, free to choose their host and listening platform.
Podcasting, with a capital P, is the exact opposite of what Youtube offers.
Let's not be fooled.
Let's not let Youtube standardize Podcasting like it standardized video.

Youtube made the deliberate choice to be a "black hole" by sucking in content created elsewhere and letting nothing come out.
Youtube created a closed silo that literally vampirizes the podcasting ecosystem which is fighting to remain open and interoperable.
YOUTUBE DOES NOT MAKE PODCASTS.
Youtube locks up. Youtube decides who is seen and heard. Youtube does not create ANY content but decides for us what can be said.

@wonderful Happy birthday to the co-founder!

But eh, peeps. “Tech For Good” and then posting a Spotify link, a company that’s Tech For Bad when it comes to the podcast ecosystem? 😮‍💨

Can I interest you in moving to somewhere a bit more respectful of the open web, listeners, artists, etc? I hear good things about @Castopod ! ☺️

List of Instances that have / had spam

If you're an admin of the spam instances:
Take a look at the post this is a reply to in order to stop the spam on your instance.

If you're an admin from an instance that receives spam:
REMEMBER THAT DEFEDERATION WITH BIG INSTANCES IS A HARMFUL ACT AS IT SILENTLY REMOVES ALL FOLLOWERS FROM AND TO THAT INSTANCE FROM YOURS WHICH CANNOT BE UNDONE - RECONSIDER DOING THIS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY SPAM FROM THESE INSTANCES YET

Prefer limiting instances over defederating from them entirely!

Possibly only defederate from instances if no connections are lost in the process.

Reconsider re-federating with any of the mentioned instances once the spam is mitigated. The admins of some of these may have just been asleep when this all started!

Defederate from

social.cutefunny.net (warning: CSAM)
cunnyborea.top (still spam)
andrew.xyz (spam is over, but there's CSAM on this site so keep it defederated)

These features are definitely in the roadmap but we don't have any ETA yet… Do not hesitate to provide feedback (or more…!) on code.castopod.org/adaures/cast

I soft launched a new podcast last summer with my two good friends and we're now bi-weekly in the new year. Listen to Spitball, where three lovable scamps and a guest pitch tech product and startup ideas that we wished existed but don't have time to build!

To all Fedi Admins currently being hit with a spam wave:

Defederate from these instances:

social.cutefunny.net (warning: CP)
cunnyborea.top
m.mxin.moe
friendsyu.me

Block the following E-Mail Domain and whatever temp Mail provider it resolves to: chitthi.in

All our spam accounts came from this E-mail, the above instances seem to not do anything against the spam.

Since you probably have some of these accounts sleeping:

https://[your-instance.tld]/admin/accounts?email=%25%40chitthi.in there just select all and press “Ban”. Good luck, everyone!
