Selfhosted

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 posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

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

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I made this because I hate Instagram, but there's still lots of valid reasons to use it.

On the one side, you're absolutely right. On the other hand, people around us are still using it, especially Musicians and Artists. If I want to find out some concert dates or check the mail of a tattoo artist I like, sometimes I have no other option than checking Instagram, despite killing the artist of my list – which I do not want to :-)

I disagree. Billions are being made, data centers and AI machines are being built that use the electricity that could power 50 million homes, and that is Meta ALONE. Your tattoo artist and musicians are perpetuating it. Oh well, they don't need my business. I don't support people that do that.

If people keep saying "but I have to", then fuck it, meta won.
