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.

It is run by Luke Smith, but is he a white supremacist? I know 4chan likes him, but I watched him for a long time and I didn't catch any explicit vibes.

He clearly is. Maybe it was too subtile for you to notice?

i remember one time he recommended Brave browser because it was a company with Christian moral values and with a very good Christian moral CEO (thats the old mozilla CEO who resigned after being found donating to a homophobic NGO)

Brave, the reskinned Chrome with integrated selective adblocker, featuring ~~obscure~~ crypto garbage. What a great browser, yeah…

Read this article carefully and you can see the xenophobia etc. seeping out. He seems to think of himself or at least often presents himself as a US style libertarian, but evidently he is totally ok with xenophobia and other white supremacist extreme right-wing stuff...

I can feel a brain aneurysm edging closer when I try to read this so I'll take your word for it
