A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Generic degoogling/google alternatives video from Pewdiepie, but he won't get rid of Youtube.

I don't think there is much in the way of alternatives. Scaling to millions of users is very hard.

There are a few platforms. Nebula, Floatplane, Peertube. I think Patreon allows you to host videos directly on their platform too.

But none of these platforms offer free access plus a built-in ad function.

I'm pretty sure both Nebula and Floatplane look for their talents themselves, you can't just decide to be there. And they look for something more sophisticated than a guy yelling n-word at children in a currently popular videogame.

Bilibili is already trying to open across Asia without any success. They're now changing their strategy to be Crunchyroll of Asia (mostly licensing anime from Muse Asia, Ani-One, and other company), but also allow people to host stuff (most people are either ACG content or pirated movie).
