Love to see the people in here gatekeeping "selfhosting" 🙄

We're all just out here trying to escape big tech. A docker container doesn't suddenly stop becoming "selfhosted" once the hard drive it's on crosses a property line. Who the hell cares, seriously.

It's not gate keeping it isn't self hosting someone else is hosting it hence the self is removed. Should discussions be allowed sure as long as it's about the application and not problems with their hosting provider.

I can see you care about this a lot, so please tell me; in your opinion at what point does a PC cease to be "self hosted"? When it's carried across the property line? Maybe if the electricity bill is paid by a roommate?

Agreed.. maybe it isn't self-hosted fully but people should still be welcome, even if they're not in a situation to self host on their own hardware and has to rent someone else's.
