Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

It mentions how several open source projects have their communities on Discord.
I might have misunderstood the comment I replied to, and the username led me to think it was intentionally snarky because of the thumbnail. In that case yes, it is extremely ironic.
As an aside, I taken some training and certification exams from a vendor that’s pretty highly respected in my industry. When I started taking their courses they provided student interaction and lab help from employees through a forum. They deprecated that and moved entirely to Discord in like 2021. Now it’s a flood of the same questions asked over and over again, and it doesn’t feel like an extension of the learning process when you have to ask a question or get help. I hate everything about it.
These people offer training courses up to and including shit like security mitigation bypasses, complex heap manipulations, and 64-bit kernel exploitation. They are more than capable of rolling their own self-hosted platform, and if their students can’t figure out how to use a forum idk what they’re doing in the course in the first place.
Yeah that sounds terrible. Also my main reason to hate discord.
