Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

There is no privacy if you don't self-host everything.
On-site self- hosting, on owned hardware. Who knows what's going on behind the closed doors of data centers around the world.
And let's not get into industry standard ~~hardware backdoors~~ remote control systems.
Pretty sure having someone else host it somewhere else is the opposite of self hosting anyways.
Ironically you can use it without logging on, so the people hurt the most are the paid users that are voluntarily giving money to the company.
