@oathboundfamiliar@gts.elysium.gay not to be obtuse or weird about this because I realize there isn't always a choice here, but I think selfhosting is an amazing solution to a lot of this (though not everything); whether it's social media (and video platforms), listening to your own music or video collection remotely, making sure your data doesn't get stolen or resold, etc. it also seems to become easier and easier, and cheaper and cheaper to do so, so I sometimes wonder if it'll become a mainstream thing.

@oathboundfamiliar@gts.elysium.gay great post but why tf are independent creators asking for donations catching strays here
