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:

  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.

I surprised Threads, LinkedIn and Snapchat have that many

🤨 when did Reddit overtake Twitter? Reddit used to be a niche destination that you’d barely see it in comparison to the other big name sites.

I'd be interested to see how different it would look if we only counted average active daily users

Facebook has like many thousands or even hundreds of thousands really dead accounts ( of dead people ), some of those accounts are just Oculus accounts as they got forced to create a facebook account, but i think those are very low in the hundreds or with low probability in the thousands.

LinkedIn isnt really a social network for me, its rather you state your past work and current work only then to get invited to 6 sessions of coding reviews.

Twitch is a entertainment platform ( like youtube ), not social media.

Surprised a boring platform like LinkedIn has that many users.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Fuck LinkedIn. It's just gross, my feed is just full of shilling.

Slowly and steadily. This platform has potential.

Is userbase proportional to area or radius?

Does it allow you to be social and participate in conversations?

So yes.

The content (the videos) are also made by its users, that used to be one of the key features of social media back when the term first appeared.

Why Facebook sucks. With those numbers you’re bound to have hundreds of millions of trolls and stochastic terrorists.
