@ainmosni But what if it didn’t take technical knowledge to setup or maintain your own place?
I see what you’re proposing as (likely very valuable) stopgaps. But stopgaps that are dependent on the benevolence of their own small gods. The small gods might be kinder than the big gods (or not) but they‘re gods nevertheless. If we’re to look beyond stopgaps, I feel we need to design systems without gods. No matter their girth or character.
