       Warning: this is in fact a sub-toot.A viral article about « getting off US tech » that mentions email, office suites, music and video streaming services, search and maps… but NOT the publishing platform where the article was posted. Spoiler alert: it was Substack - the ensh*tt*f*ed Nazi bar supported by A16Z that platforms and profits from far right content.Substack alternatives: Ghost, Wordpress, BeeHiiv, Buttondown. I use Ghost & Wordpress and LOVE themRelated: https://news.elenarossini.com/this-is-what-resistance-to-the-digital-coup-looks-like/

       @kobold > Can't we just start hosting our own webservers again?Maybe if we made the FreedomBox vision happen, which requires;* every household/ office to have a net gateway capable of hosting services* installing services to be as easy as installing apps on a mobile device, * ISPs to give every customer a static IPv6 addressI've been installing GNU/Linux for about 20 years, and I'm still finding hosting skills fiendishly difficult to learn. Good luck getting normies to do it.@_elena

       @_elena > I’m a normie that self-hosts ... thanks to YunohostGood for you. I'm a GNU/Linux using ubergeek who's never self-hosted anything.I'm all for people doing it if they have the resources, and the spoons. But most people don't even admin their own devices, or know how to install an OS on them. So I can't see self-hosting becoming common any time soon, more's the pity.To get most people into community-hosted services is much more realistic in the medium term.@yunohost @kobold

       @strypey @_elena @yunohost @kobold I fully agree here, we need to make it easier for people who do not have the skills in this area,  I can install an OS, and attach to network,  what scares me is compromising network security by opening the right ports, (or port forwarding from another port).So some of the barriers are not technical, just not sure on the right word for the above.

       @_elena @strypey @yunohost @kobold This is fine,   i  like the idea of self-hosting for people who need that level of autonomy.I will take a look at the Links

       @WhoDisturbsMySlumber @_elena Sadly, often, paying is what it takes not to be the product.

       @_elena @clacke that does sound great, I use a big cartel and it's 15 and Substack which is free. But that sounds cheaper than what I pay hmmm. Good thoughts

       @_elena thanks for calling this out because I'm desperate about people straight up ignoring that Substack is a Nazi platform

       Just for completeness: self-hosted WordPress is ok, but WordPress.com is very much American.

       @WhoDisturbsMySlumber@mastodon.social @_elena@mastodon.social One author I follow has moved off Ghost because of this....and went to Substack where she doesn't have the same problem (meaning I now can't support her work unless she posts here). When you're counting every penny these things matter, sad fact of life.

       @_elena yeah there are people there using swastikas as avatars and talking about "the jewish question" and Richard Spencer is there, I truly don't understand what it gets for someone to move out.BTW, if you like, I'd suggest you to add Outpost https://outpost.pub/ to the list of alternatives. Is based on Ghost, they are a cooperative and openly anti hate speech 🙌
