A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I finished reading both articles and they are very heavy on conjecture. It does raise an eyebrow though, but still.

Yes, in an ideal world we would be using SimpleX, XMPP, or similar. However it was already hard enough getting ten non-tech contacts to switch to Signal. The barrier to entry is higher on other platforms or protocols.

you just described the same exact reason why I'm on signal. it's friendly to normies and most other options aren't even though they should be

This thread has set me on the path of getting two of my nerds over onto simplex or XMPP. Maybe matrix.
