The whole podcasting 2.0 project is to fight The Podcassting Industrial Complex. It started when Alex Jones got kicked off of Apple and then Bitcoin got added to fight PayPal deplatforming.
Honestly Nostr is the least coolest feature in Fountain. It distracts from the larger point of PC 2.0.
Just like Nostr it's about using any app backed by the podcast index to listen to your favorite podcast.
A lot of us in PC 2.0 discovered Bitcoin because of PC 2.0 but have been let down by everything being pigeonholed into just Fountain and now even further with everything needing to have Nostr now.
Don't get me wrong every little step forward helps in the long term but if everything is consolidated to Fountain then we have just reinvented Spotify.
I've been using Fountain since the beta was first released by Oscar to the PC 2.0 group but sometimes it breaks and it would be nice for people to use a different app.
Only a few people like Oscar, Nick, Bumi, Moritz really get what PC 2.0 is trying to do in the Bitcoin world.
It's about taking back control of our content and hosting companies like podhome.fm (npub1pj3…7des) and RSS Blue (npub1gr6…mmjc) are doing a great job and gaining traction in the Bitcoin space but they are even stuck with the "easy" wallet solutions.
We need to make these apps like Podverse, PodcastGuru, Curiocaster, LNBeats etc easier for people to use because they are great but right now it's just the diehards running some version of AlbyHub that can use them because it's the only thing that works thanks to the Alby team seeing the vision and helping these apps out in the first place.
