   @Lan Self-hosting is the best. The only downside is that it is not free, you need to pay for hardware and domain name, spend time on various admin tasks. But as software improves the costs of running it are falling too.

     This is probably a dumb question but is it possible/advisable for more people to host their own content? Seems like instead of having giant servers where everyone’s stuff is stored we could all just host our own files and people connect to them? Grateful for any insight into the downsides of doing something like that (aside from having to learn how to run a server) #fediverse nub here #activitypub #pixelfed #loops #mastodon
