I'm against #SelfHosting.

Users should not need to maintain their own server. It needs specialized knowledge to do it right.

Sysadmins who like maintaining servers can do it together in a more efficient way and spread responsibility.

They could offer services on a best-effort basis to users for donations or if they want to do it more professional, offer services for a fair price.

They can incorporate as association, collective or cooperative with users as paying members with voting rights.

Self hosting is a learning curve. We are not sysadmin. We learn from others and best of all, from our own mistakes in order not to repeat them again.

There is nothing wrong in hosting your own services if you know what you're doing.

If not, loads of the open source web apps offer a hosted service in which the sysadmin you are referring to do the job for you for a fee.

I really don't understand the point of this rant, with all the due respect.

@feld i'm not sure if that's a problem

people trust mastodon admins and hosting companies

i think it's more likely that an employee at a hosting company hate their job and leak or sell customer data than a volunteer contributing to a community service

i don't think it is a good approach to be self-sufficient, instead we should learn to work together and combine our efforts

which service would you not want anyone else to host?

my post is related to logseq sync. it has encryption
