I think we need to emphasize this topic more in digital issues. The matter of decentralization culture within the fediverse. How can we incentivize self hosting?
I think for example that Small Technology Foundation, Masto Host and Spacebear Federation brings a good impact on this. I think we also need to focus on making it easier for regular people to influence development so that we can better make self hosting accessable.
I agree. Currently , self hosting a service is somewhat difficult. It also requires some amount of technical knowledge. Some services can be installed just by entering one command - Nextcloud?
While some other services are much more difficult to set up and get it running. Maintaining, updating and backing up is another story and is time consuming.
Also, not everyone can afford to pay money for hosting an instance.
I hope more services similar to mastohost will appear and become popular.
