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.

We recently set up a Dutch community on Signaal to share knowledge and ideas regarding IT and privacy. Are you a Dutch speaker and would you like to participate, send a message

I am dutch and spend many an hour at the intersection of IT and Privacy ... but this is the wrong community to advertise a local Signal group.

Nothing to do with selfhosting

The group is about self hosting tips and privacy? But yeah fair enough

Not selfhosting AND privacy.

From the sidebar of this lemmy:

"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."

So its about self-hosting with certain qualities (not giving up privacy or lockin). Not about privacy in general.

Signal isnt selfhosted and does lock you in, albeit with a high reputation to not become evil.
