Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I wanted to start a community, including a matrix server for chatting, but public signups cause some "undesirables" to sign up and when I finally figured out what rooms they joined and what they were posting (unencrypted) I had to nope out of the whole project over night. They seem to scan the federated network for public instances with open registrations and then do shit like this. It's a shame but the only community effort I could see myself doing in the future would need to be friend-to-friend networks or invite only or something like that..
Yeah looking into all of this now I might move towards a invite only and keep groups community’s etc unencrypted and moderate them all. Or make community’s etc only allowed with admin approval. UPDATE: we are now invite only working on generating some invite codes if anyone is interested comment below.
This sounds more like a coordinated attack on matrix to ruin the system/ reputation/ joy
