  • I don’t think I have ever seen a worse sourced Wikipedia section. I agree with the general sentiment but holy shit I’m suprised that whole section hasn’t just been thrown out.

    Edit: checked the talk page apparently it was one of the students edited ones which explains why it reads like an essay I rushed out the night before the due date.



  • Can we just be realistic and understand that most people can’t/won’t do this. Most people do not have the time/technical knowhow to host everything themselves.

    Edit: came back to this and wanted to clarify. It would be great if people could self host literally everything but I don’t get any crucial information through emails or really ever besides in person. I am more than willing to pay a reasonable amount to support privacy features but I’m not personally willing to spend 10x that amount in time to do something that will probably not work because I am not an IT person. I do not have to time to learn how to self host 26 different pieces of software that I have been told I need to self host nor do I have the spare computer parts lying around to build a machine to host them. I have looked at self hosting a matrix client because that is the one type of app that I get anything I want to keep private sent to me but my family is already using signal so I’m unconvinced that switching is worth while.

    I should have made paragraphs but I forgot to my bad.
