Only the one that just open sources their code and encourages people to self host.
You can't self host a VPN, what would be the point?
You can, I do. The point is to gain encrypted access to my network no matter where you are.
Never the less is your actual point correct.
Well, yes, you can self host a VPN to access your home network, I do that as well. That is not the context for proton et al though, and you can't self host a privacy VPN.
Lemmy is "self hosted" that doesnt mean every user has their own instance...
That doesn't mean that instance owners can't do shady shit. Open source is meaningless when you're talking about a service provider.
