Show me where is my self hosting setup with the dedicated IP and a server rack running then lol
You’re just using someone else’s server, just like you did in Web 1.0, it’s not self-hosted at all
I’m hosting and using my own instance personally, but the important part is that it’s decentralized and federated. Think of it like email - businesses often have their own email servers they use to communicate with yours, unlike on Facebook or Reddit where all of it happens on their servers.
Exactly, there’s a difference between self-hosted networks like meshes and mostly privately hosted. It’s like calling all email self-hosted, even though less than 1% of users self-host.
You can host your own instance, it’s not that hard. Just because you can share someone else’s self hosted instance or a larger one doesn’t make it magically different. Learn how the fediverse works.
