Platforms come and go. Networks change the rules overnight, throttle reach, or simply shut down. Podcasters who built on the Fediverse and open self-hosted tools barely notice. In this round table, working podcasters talk about how federation and open standards make creators resilient and, frankly, more serene about their work: if LinkedIn or any other network disappears tomorrow, we still have Castopod, WordPress, PeerTube and friends, and we do not have to change our habits.
A conversation between podcasters who publish on the Fediverse and open infrastructure. The thread running through it: resilience and peace of mind. When you own your feed and your audience lives on open protocols, a platform's death or policy change stops being your problem.
We will compare real setups (Castopod, PeerTube, WordPress, RSS), talk about what genuinely federates today and what does not yet, the trade-offs of self-hosting, and how a federated stack changes the way you think about your audience and your back catalogue.
Less theory, more lived experience from people who publish every week.
The floor will be open for questions.
