   One thing I'm pretty much noticing when it comes to self-hosting in various communities.
   
   Punks and similar indie musicians: Bandcamp (m'okay) and Facebook, nearly none have things like blogs or newsletters to get info about events. :/ Imagine advocating against capitalism/corporatism/… with being reliant on Facebook for organising yourselves.
   
   Demoscene: Some blogs, ressource websites like pouet.net / demozoo, webradios, … sadly a lot of Twitch and Discord. ♥ CCC for hosting the streams of some of them.
   
   FLOSS: Massive amount of Github and growing amount of Discord. Some self-hosted people, some on community sites, …
   (btw even some GNU stuff is stuck to GitHub for sending patches)
   
   Weeb communities: Oh no :( Used to be IRC and forums back in the day though.

     @lanodan The big problem is that the old and new gens are rather technology inept in different ways. The new generation, it's practically all they know, it's the entire Internet for them

     @coolboymew Yeah but for pretty much none of the ones I gave are really excusable.
     
     Like punks have made their own websites and the like, lot of them even know some webdesigners.
     
     Demoscene, I'd say it's surprisingly self hosted compared to the rest. Just a bit weird to be oriented towards retro and small software and then… Discord.
     
     FLOSS is the most inexcusable.
     
     Weebs… I know like half are just consumers but there's no excuse on the tech side of things.

     @coolboymew @lanodan I think the problem comes down to social things; Discord users can't migrate away because no one else will, so they'll be the only one on, say, Matrix. GitHub users can't migrate away because would-be contributors, or even those just wanting to report an issue, would have to migrate as well and create yet another account.
     While in some cases it'd be more convenient to set up an IRC channel and pre-configure a Kiwi IRC instance, it for some reason doesn't matter to everyone.
     And no one wants to work around these issues by bridging, creating an email system, a web app, so on. The few who do are the technologically savvy ones.

     @lanodan The issue is that it's where the audience is too, and then part of that is laziness
     
     WTF should we do to make people stop using these garbage in general?
