I would argue that the web is better when more people participate in it’s basic economy like domain ownership and providing services(for themselves or for others also) through that domain(on owned hardware/internet-connection, where possible).
Or most of us will continuously cycle through platforms without learning much on makes platforms/services/internet run for the sake of our own or community needs.
From my experience with self-hosting different kind of (mostly open-source) services I came to the conclusion that nowadays it’s not that technically hard as it used to be not that long ago and there’s a way to generalize server setup and maintenance in steps that can make sense for the normal person willing/curios to dive in such endeavour.
I think I might write some posts to discuss further any interest in such guides/introductions to “owning” your shit on the internet to seek any kind of interest.
