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.

So Facebook is:

Boring Full of bots Soulless

An we are:

Real people mostly Engaged A cute little dot!

Like someone said, 1,5M people are enough for me, specially if they are mostly active and it seems they are. Are they stats for mean user activity?

Not being able to scroll recycled content all day has been hugely detrimental to me. I’ve actually started reading books again. BOOKS.

I’m so sorry, I can’t imagine how you bear it

Same. It’s amazing how much time I have when the algorithm isn’t shoving me endless content, trying to keep me engaged.

Really shows how everyone has been addicted to social media, myself included.

Quality > quantity.

The masses have been duped into forgetting that.

You can show more ads with more quantity, any ad driven platform will trend that way.

Well you know, "quantity has a quality all its own"

When I saw that number I was pleasantly surprised.
