Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Yes, it'll be uploaded elsewhere. That's the whole point.
Discord doesn't want to host any of this data, they don't want to be connected to criminal activity. It makes sense.
Also, while it might slightly lower their storage costs (if the hackers move elsewhere), if you send a file to someone, it'll still stay on Discord's servers. Only difference is the link to said file - it'll only be valid for a day, and then you'll have to use a new one (in a way that's probably transparent to the user)
The goal here is to make it difficult to link to things uploaded to discord from outside of discord. The malware reason is BS. If they wanted to curb malware it would be as easy as making it a nitro feature. What that doesn't fix is all the people piggybacking on discord as a free CDN.
Discord isn't even wrong for doing this. I just resent their dishonesty.
Not sure rolling it into Nitro would be worth the effort, I'd consider that quite complex personally
