@cypnk@masto.hackers.town you are part of the (silent) majority!
I'm preparing to self-host some stuff both for myself and friends as we move out of Discord's ecosystem, and the amount of shit I've gotten for it has been...well, not *surprising*, but certainly *disheartening*?

@titania@retro.pizza At best, it's innocent and clueless. At worst, it's condescension I'm reminded of this legendary post from years ago when Dropbox was first released (to be fair, I think he was just young and clueless) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224 Back then, people really underestimated what a game-changer it would be to simply store and share files. My hope is that this would likewise seem like a quaint hill to climb in the future
