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.

I guess that means it's dead, as there's no way a corporation would pay millions to acquire a competitor just to continue developing a free alternative to their own product

I wouldn't assume that they'll kill it. It's entirely possible that they'll keep moving forward as-is. Just wait and see.

It's entirely possible that they'll shut it down. I'm just saying....chill the fuck out, wait and see what happens before we all start crying.

Considering that any switch to a new platform takes a lot of effort to carry over everything correctly, people are in the right to worry about the future of a product that has an uncertain future.
