How many people run their own e-mail servers?
What about personal websites vs facebook?
The direction is quite clear.
- TDL 11y agoI don't think the direction is that clear. 15 years ago how many people were even giving thought to running their own email servers or have their own websites? I would bet there are more people considering their own websites (or have their own websites already) even if they still make use of Facebook. There a number of these large platforms, like Facebook, but their existence is in no way guaranteed. I don't know understand the pessimism in this thread, especially amongst the builders of this era.
