It will never be easy. People should understand that and take the hard part as a fun part or as a price to pay for their digital independence.

- bccdee 6y agoThat's not true. There's no reason why hosting a server should be hard. This is a UX issue, and an eminently solvable one at that. Imagine a self-hosted, easy-to-install Heroku-style server platform with a public repository for application images. It's not hard because it needs to be hard; it's hard because no one has invested the time and money to make it easy.
- kimmeld 6y agoIt’s hard the same reason I can’t put a ton of solar panels on my roof and pump large amounts of electricity into the grid. The upstream infrastructure is not sized appropriately. It’s not that running a server is hard but that most internet infrastructure is designed to consume and not produce.
