I hope shitty things like this motivate people to organize into alternative networks, like local meshnets and more in-person community interactions. The internet may be hopelessly broken at this point.

    Does anyone have a self hosted social media, where all of the media on my profile would be on my server (even a phone) and somebody viewing my profile would literally have to pull thumbnails and data straight from my device in a peer to peer kind of fashion?

    I'll plug meshtastic and ham radio, then. Meshtastic (at least in the US, no idea about other places) is legal to do without any sort of license. It's a peer to peer messaging service basically. So imagine like a walkie talkie that sends texts. Ham Radio needs a license but blows the doors open on the types of stuff you can do.
