@annasdtc@sciences.social self-hosting enthusiast here. I've been toying around with the idea of a community (as in town, city, neighborhood) hosting co-op where the infrastructure and software is run by volunteers. I think it's possible, but a concern about equity-disparity between communities as well as legal/regulation seems to be the toughest problem to overcome. I bring this up because I'm sure a lot of self-hosters out there have a similar idea to mine. We do self hosting out of enthusiasm and because we have the ability, but we are looking for opportunities to steer our enthusiasm towards the benefit of the community around us. We're at the early stages of this, but in a way, this is the Internet seeing the big corporations as damage and routing around them, slowly.
