A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam.

  3. Posts here are to be centered around self-hosting. Please ensure it is clear in your post how it relates to self-hosting.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or git here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title.

  6. No trolling.

  7. Promotion posts require your active participation in selfhosting or related communities, or the post will be removed. No more than 10% of your posts or comments may be self-promotional, or your post will be removed. F/LOSS Exception: If your post is about a project that is completely open source & can be self-hosted in full without payment, and your account is at least 30 days old, your post is exempt from this rule as long as you continue to engage in comments.

Rule 7 Adjustment (anarchist.nexus)

Edit 3:

So 0 and 1 have essentially no support, while 30 day has twice the support of a 7 day account age requirement...

I'm going to have to say the 30 day account age requirement takes it, update to the rules coming.

Given the length of things, I'm also preparing a "rules explanation post" (that will be locked from comments only to keep it clean), to allow the rules list in the sidebar to be shortened up. Meaningful details will be in the post, and comments are - as always - welcomed, either direct or via meta post.

Thanks all for bearing with me in the first few weeks of changes!


Edit 2:

I think the "no minimum" and "1-day minimum" are pretty clearly not going to take the lead at this point, but "no minimum" has a whopping 0 upvotes.

That does not mean that votes are closed!

Please continue to vote. I'll give this a full 24 hours, but in the interest of the community preference I'm going to clean up the past 24hrs worth of posts now, and put the 7 day minimum into the rules as a starting point while we give folks an opportunity to provide their up/downvotes.


I worry this is going to turn the rules into needing a post with full descriptions, but in the interest of the fun being had this week...

I think a mandatory delay on posts for new accounts doing promo, even if they are fully f/loss, can stem the tide.

I'm going to make comments below as a quick poll below for timeframes. Please upvote the ones you'd be ok with, downvote if you're against it. Since this will be quick I'm going to keep comments closed for now - if you have comments please add them to the main thread.

Edit: For the record I've removed the initial upvote from myself by creating the comment, so the net on each is exactly as the community votes on each item.
