h3artbl33d :openbsd: :ve:<p>This is your casual reminder to <a href="https://exquisite.social/tags/selfhost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhost</span></a> :flan_hacker: At least that what you are comfortable with :flan_guns: </p><p><a href="https://exquisite.social/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a> is about being independent. About owning your data. About reclaiming the 'net and decentralizing it. It is about taking control. Being able to do things the way you see fit. And it is about breaking free from subscriptions and from big tech which is <a href="https://exquisite.social/tags/enshittifying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>enshittifying</span></a> like there is no tomorrow.</p><p>Go <a href="https://exquisite.social/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosted</span></a> the way you see fit. In small steps, one platform at a time - or with a head first dive if you are feeling adventurous. Share your experiences, write a blog about it, create a video or post about it on the Fediverse.</p><p>It most definitely is not too late to revolt. To give big tech the middle finger. Firmly stand your ground. <strong>Be a rebel.</strong> :flan_molotov:</p>
