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.

Nobody is saying you're not helpful. Actually, nobody is going back through your history to even see if you're helpful.

All people are saying is, in the future, post a brief description of the app you're linking.

Don't take all these comments so personally pal, chin up. Just walk away and forget about it until you next post, and when you doz drop a quick description of the app you're linking the change log for. That way people will have to find something else to moan about instead.

You can't please everyone, there's far too many of us, so please yourself.

You're right, I did take it really personally and I shouldn't have. Personally, I find release postings and release discussions interesting. I also think posting descriptions is performative. It's not just performative though, it's time consuming. They say people that don't do, teach. Well now those teachers will have to step up and do, lead from the front as it were. If the community benefits, then everyone wins.
