I 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.

@scarlet@plush.city 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.

@scarlet@plush.city Seems like we or our communities need to run our own email servers and possibly VPN, CryptPad, and NextCloud, although email spam and (other junk mail) can be too much for most administrators.
