Awesome selfhosted Is a great place to start. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] aleq@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I should probably have put quotes around "selfhosting movement", because I meant the term itself. Reason for asking is that if it doesn't include shared instances, then it's not a very big movement and most people will not really be able to join it. That said I'm not trying to start a discussion on whether it's good or bad, IMO it's good and I self-host a lot of things for personal use myself. Just a thought I guess. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago Sure? If you help fund it, definitely. You're not self hosting, but you're still involved with those who do. permalink fedilink source parent
