bless. someone didn't read past the first post. I suppose I'll put it here so it's not nested in the replies: I AM WORKING TO SET UP SELF-HOSTING AN ALTERNATIVE FOR DISCORD AS WELL AS A FORUM FOR LOCAL FRIENDS OF MINE THAT ARE SICK OF REDDIT. If you're like, "this analogy is horrible and you should feel bad", maybe read the rest of the thread. 🫡

Should also say that if you read this thread and your knee-jerk reaction is to go, "but that's not true and that's not FAIR, the community is not LIKE this" and say something unkind to me, you are part of the problem. The community is absolutely like this, which is why it needs to change! Good news, it *can*. I'm not saying that you need to help *me* (I think I've got my bases covered, thanks), but like -- look. If your first response to this thread is, "that's wrong, you're wrong, you're an asshole", maybe sit with that feeling. Hostility doesn't help anyone, and this post was a *joke*. :blobcat_amused: There's a better metaphor about sourdough baking further down if you are going to insist that self-hosting gone wrong won't kill anyone -- p sure sourdough won't, either (but *who can say*).

@titania@retro.pizza Do you need any help? I've done those things before and can sense some frustration. lmk
