  • Honestly, I look at this and I see a future where everyone runs their own Federated services

    I very much doubt it. People in general just don’t care, or even worse. They think that it is a good thing as it keeps baddies out (it won’t) and it will protect them (it won’t).

    It seems line very dark times are ahead. Self hosting is good, but it also gives the other side a bright shining beacon to go after. If they know everything about 99% of the population already, they can spend a lot more resources to really get to know the last percent that actively tries to avoid it.

    I know the purists might sneer at me for this, but I just spun up a server via Hetzner so I could run Docker in the cloud

    Not an answer to your question, but don’t let some gatekeeper… well, gate keep. There are many ways to selfhost. Running your own hardware is one, renting a VPS but hosting the services yourself is another one. One is not better than the other.

    Just pick what is the best solution for you and your problem.








  • but if you trust your provider

    Which you should never do. They might look good and safe today, but all it takes is a subpoena or a change in management and they will spill all the secrets. Most likely past and present.

    Basically, don’t do illegal shit over unencrypted forms of communications. But the billionares are not the smartest people, or Epstein thought he was protected enough that keeping a record of his co-conspirators and their crimes would protect him.
