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.

I understand this policy of needing to report them to official authorities is a new thing they now added out of fear of losing their grip of control on social media when people swarm to private instances.
My standards however will always remain on "No government has any business in private stuff." Just like everybody follows default trafficlaws on private parkings, but in reality they are just rules of the owner and unless you do damage the police can't do anything for driving wrongly on them. Same goes inside a store. Government has no say in how internals are handled and will only be allowed to note damage and allow the owner to press charges, if they so chose. I'm just drawing that basic right further to everything, including any privately setup software.
I kinda also feel that if I have to go and involve government authorities, it takes away a large basic reason to even go private. I'm not paying servercosts to still having to deal with government [insert bad word here]...
Governments can suck it and I'll just deal with my own issues. There is absolutely no way in hell I'm going to voluntarily contact any government [insert different bad word here] for things I am doing in private. They can go stand on their heads for all I care...
NB: This is in no way an attack towards you or what you commented, voting it up even cause you were very helpful and I do agree in general it's best to give the legals and leave it up to people to choose to follow that or not, I just needed to get this frustration about government control in private setups off my chest... 😅
I never thought I’d see someone openly admit, even advocate, that they’re willing to host child sexual assault material on hardware they own. That’s a sad hill to die on.
I don’t really care about anything else you’ve written to justify your blanket standards either. All it takes is one example (CSAM) to show the depravity of your standards.
I’m all about privacy, even so far as to emigrate from the US to a country in the EU for privacy. But I have compassion and empathy and am also aware of ethical behavior, morality, and decency.
Privacy is not more valuable than protecting innocent human lives. If you can’t see that, you are lost. I’m sorry.
I agree, yet privacy is still more important than people watching media they didn't make. I advocate any and all people making those should be our target, not senselessly give up rights so we can punish those that didn't hurt anyone. And I just don't believe in the current legal system and allowing people that unpunished do attrocities to deal with other people doing them does not form an ok with me. 🤷♂️
You are literally going to idiots that don't solve the problem and are proven to do similar bad things themselves, who are using offense towards the people so attention diverts away from them, and you are arguing to 'me' that I don't want to do the same stupidity...? 🤷♂️
Go take a better look at your own actions, dude...
This comment could answer your previous... 😅 You're not even being consistent in your attacks that have no base.
I certainly did not advocate to enable child abuse anywhere. I just advocated against going after the wrong people and outing frustrations on the ones that didn't do it. Just like you are proving to do now with me... 🤷♂️
Why are you so offensively upset on a comment that did not say what you put into it as retaliation. Literally changing my point to be able to attack me with it. 😅
Like I said. Keep your anger for people actually doing wrong, not on the ones that merely think differently than the exact way you do.
Also if somebody films a murder, do we punish everybody that wants to see the video? No.
Then why are we punishing people that just watch it while not solving anything on those making them? 🤷♂️
Logic is a thing people apparently give up for authority. Not me though. Someone that wants to watch CSAM is not your business, just like it isn't if they watch murder, space stuff of baby cats... (And no, I don't think they are the same. Taking that from this would just be not wanting to think logic to make another inconsistent counter-attack, so please, don't.)
The harm with CSAM is already done and you're taking it out on the wrong persons with help of even worse people, wasting time on targets for what they might do instead of using it on people who actually did/do the bad things creating them.
Good job... Meanwhile I'll continue to focus on people that actually did something wrong...
You shouldn't... You should also not be on the internet with that temper against strangers with different opinions...
You do know it's full of those, right?
Either way, I did not advocate for any such a thing. I'm only saying that the way to deal with a problem is by taking on the cause, not the results... Results will keep coming if the cause remains.
Go stick your effort into getting rid of CSAM's creation. That way there's no more children harmed instead of you just making yourself feel better cause you attacked someone on the internet that wouldn't hurt anyone, but you just preassumed did cause he thinks differently on the subject. I'm not even a CSAM interested person. I hate children getting hurt as much as the next guy. I just wish we worked on a solution instead of bandaids.
And I'm just not taking part in the bandaid part. 🤷♂️
