@lethe @hagen Good points all self-hosting isn‘t only „hosting on a pc under your desk“ - if you want to run an alternative to a webservice you could also rent a dedicated server somewhere, preferably in a country with GDPR, and run a fully controlled instance of a FOSS alternative. Still technically in the cloud with all the benefits (uptime, shared resources) but many of the problems of platforms (AI fuckery, change of license) are mitigated.
