A walled garden is a closed ecosystem where the platform provider controls access, content, and services, limiting what users can do or see beyond its borders. We’re a music delivery service first and foremost. We’ve supported open distribution from day one, including, but not limited to, to Podcast Index, LLC, which is how apps like Fountain, LN Beats, and others have built their music libraries over the years. Our entire catalog is open to RSS, and we even offer 50% of our revenue to anyone who builds a new app that grows the ecosystem. If you’re referring to our open source mobile player, our Nostr client, it’s not an RSS player. That’s why it doesn’t show RSS feeds. RSS doesn’t support zaps. It’s like asking why your bike doesn’t have airbags. Want to see more music in these so-called walled gardens? Ask RSS hosts to support Lightning addresses and zaps. Until then, maybe the garden’s not the problem 🙃 View quoted note →
All due respect to the “self-sovereign” purists hobbling around the internet, trying to define what free and open should mean for artists, just because some dusty old forum dorks said so. But preaching freedom while handing out rulebooks is fucking hilarious 🤣 Artists can make, share, and earn however they want. That’s the point. There’s no manual for breaking out of the system. Thinking outside the box is why we’re here. Don’t stop now ✌️❤️
