Im mostly tech agnostic but i very much understand whats happening under the hood. If it works for the intended audience or use case then thats where I go.

The RSS splits are absolutely permissionless if you're running your own node and hosting your own files.

If you're not, we'll its no different than having a custodial lightning wallet (it literally is that).

The RSS feed simply has a text file with a tag to a lightning or node address. If you self host your feed (on any server) as well, then everything you are doing is 100% permissionless.

If you're talking about the payment rails being used, thats lightning network. Keysend vs lnaddress vs whatever else is a bitcoin lightning problem, not an rss issue. RSS (or more accurately DeMu) uses both keysend and lnaddress but its a bit of a mixed bag of semi compatibility so admittedly not a perfect situation either.

How many people do you suppose will run their own lightning node …

Very few. But i have no problem with that. I dont believe most people in the world will be their own bank when hyperbitcoinization hits. I have no belief this happens in music either.

But I respond as such because you characterize RSS disengenuously similae to as if you said all lightning was custodial. Yes custodial flavors exist, but there are also 100% non custodial options too.

For the record, not every boost running through DeMu is fully decentralized and super based blah blah blah. I dont care. I believe custodial options are necessary too. What i care about, is the option to be fully 100% self sovereign exists in this ecosystem IF i want to put in the PoW to learn to do it. The tradeoffs you make are your choice. That's real freedom tech in action.
