Problem is that Trump is on the oil companies’ pay rolls. Unfortunately he’s subsidizing them instead of Tesla.

I should probably have put quotes around “selfhosting movement”, because I meant the term itself. Reason for asking is that if it doesn’t include shared instances, then it’s not a very big movement and most people will not really be able to join it.

That said I’m not trying to start a discussion on whether it’s good or bad, IMO it’s good and I self-host a lot of things for personal use myself. Just a thought I guess.

Does selfhosting movement include using non-commercial instances of apps like mastodon/lemmy/matrix etc?

What are people’s opinion on this, good or bad? I have a somewhat favorable view of IBM in open source, but not sure where I got it (so it might be misplaced).

IMO, there’s much bigger reasons to be worried about RedNote than security or even privacy.

What are those reasons?
