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.

Compared against the predominant incumbent social media platforms, the fediverse is very small.

Seriously, who on earth uses facebook? Lol

The only website on this graphic that has some actual value (apart from the fediverse of course) is youtube.

My wife uses Facebook every day.

She’s a very family oriented person and she’s gonna be wherever they are.

She’s the kind of person who wakes up and calls her mom, then her grandma, then her sisters every single day. Hell, she even talks to her nephews every day and they’re toddlers.

There really isn’t anything that compares as far as that goes.

Me? I know it's the current hotness to not be on there, but I don't get sites like Instagram / TickTock / Snapchat where its just reacting to photos and images. I want words dammit.

Didn't Facebook build infrastructure and give out free phones in India and other developing nations to get them online? I'm sure it was more to harvest their data, but I'm sure that counts pretty solidly for them

They got a service provider to let its users browse Facebook for free, but that was banned a year later for being unfair. It's still a thing in other developing counties I guess.

Me, tbh I don't like meta but the groups in facebooks is probably what keeps me there, for example there is a group about an anime and the guys there literally translate the new volumes of the novel months faster than other piracy sites, almost in the moment, there is also the memes and other posts that only appear around those groups. Not even reddit has that content, so what keeps me attached to facebook is mainly anime groups

3 billion of them. So, over a third of the population of earth does (at least according to this graphic).
