I thought this was an interesting post and discussion on selfhosted. Thoughts?

Some great points, but it’s nonsense to say r/selfhosted isnt about selfhosting. I’ve learned so much there.

    I didn’t really care about the subreddit even before the API shitshow, as I find the place filled with toxic, elitist gatekeepers.

    As I was just starting to self-host and was merely a modest hobbyist, I only encountered hate and downvotes there.

    In short, I don’t miss that place.

    That said, I find the community here much more helpful and positive. It could use a bit more engagement, and we should all post and share more—myself included. But overall, I like it.

    /r/selfhosted remains just an entry in my RSS feed to ensure I don’t miss anything of interest; mostly, I just read post titles.

    So let them have their primary space over there.
