Hi, this is Benjamin, behind the Castopod account.Lately, Iāve felt harassed for not fixing a bug fast enough. Seeing the same complaint posted repeatedly, across different platforms, and being told we ākept silentā when we didnātāit hurts.

Iām sure this wasnāt done to hurt us deliberately. But thatās how it felt.If you dismiss that, if you deny how we feel, weāll take that as a lack of empathyāand you will be blocked. Not because we reject feedback, but because we wonāt accept being treated as if weāre not human.

We understand that waiting for a fix is frustrating. We also use open source software; weāve been in your shoes.So when you spot a bug, please remember: there are real people behind this project. Try to be kind.

Please donāt misunderstand: not only do we value feedbackāwe need it. Open source cannot exist without a community, and that includes critical feedback.We welcome it. But empathy matters too.

Why do we do this? Because we believe in the 4 software freedoms:The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose.The freedom to study and change it.The freedom to share copies.The freedom to share your modifications.Thatās why Castopod exists.

We donāt split features into āfreeā and āpaid.ā We donāt sell essential plugins. We donāt restrict functionality.We want full freedom. Half freedom wouldnāt make sense to us.

š Apple Podcasts now supports chaptersāincluding the Podcasting 2.0 <podcast:chapters> tag!This is the second time Apple has embraced a community-driven standard (after transcripts in March 2024), proving that the "not-invented-here" syndrome is NOT a fatality.Chapters + transcripts = better discoverability, accessibility, and search for the entire podcast ecosystem.The network effect is beginning. šRead more on the Castopod blog: https://blog.castopod.org/apple-podcasts-embraces-chapters-another-victory-for-podcasting-2-0/#Podcasting #Podcasting20
