If you just want to distribute content, you're better off sharing bittorrent links. The problem is that those podcasters want the visibility and the ad money of those platforms. Which is valid, but not something that is solvable by self-hosting at home.
- PavlovsCat 7y agoWe need to transition to solutions for it though, and a "hybrid" approach would be a move in the right direction. i.e. you don't have to leave the platforms, just make your own website, too. Yeah, it's more work, but nothing good will come of just leaving it to the big players and what they come up with. To even have leverage, people can't just be completely dependent, that's a non-starter.

- anchpop 7y agoThere's actually a browser that basically does this, called Beaker [0]. It uses a protocol called Dat which is very similar to Bittorent, but allows you to update your files after you originally publish them (in the form of an append-only log, so you can always see old versions of a particular site if you want to).
