Scarlet the FoxI think it's time for folks to learn how to self-host again and to spread the hobby around.
The web should be unruly and insubordinate. Centralization and the pursuit of convenience is killing the internet.
AstraLuma@scarlet gonna disagree
(As one of the commercial webhosts, I'm biased, BUT)
There's a lot of demand on creative types these days, and indies need more skills than ever to be successful.
We need more small providers and trusted friends. Not everyone needs to individually self host, but everyone needs to know someone.
Specialization is the superpower of civilization. We should be leaning on that.
doggo!@astraluma @scarlet I agree, we need smalls pods of groups of self hosting peoples. Self hosting is a full time job :/ Not everyone is willing to do it, nor have time for.
