@jessamyn@glammr.us Yeah. Time is valuable and expertise is real, you know? I don't think it's at all unreasonable for people to say, I should pay people who know a lot about specific things full time for a living to handle those specific things for me, so that I can have the time to use the specific things I've got expertise in to do things like feed my family.
I understand that redundance vs safety margins are a spectrum and a nuanced conversation, but society is a real thing that matters.

@mhoye@cosocial.ca @jessamyn@glammr.us this is why my go-to is paying for hosted services that I could self host because I need people with expertise to get paid for their work, but with a safety valve where I start reconsidering self hosting if they crank up the price or go fash or something.
