It's for this reason that I've come to view tech products as propositions for relations, and I've come to view the health or characteristics of the company as part of the value of its offering.
I've had good performance and uptime with Pinboard, but there have been a few moments that caused me to look outward for other options, but there I found that nobody else really focused on privacy the same way.
- tionsam 8y agoUntil the last year or so, I really felt like Pinboard was a model for how an online service should be run. Maciej's strong advocacy for privacy and ethical business models are the reason I was comfortable paying for another five years of archiving upfront - I made my account in 2011 and until now had never seen a reason to jump ship. Nowadays, though, self-hosting is much more workable than it used to be and I feel more confident that I can manage my own data safely... or maybe I've just realized I'm not confident that anybody else can.
