For me the issue is more that communities as they grow seem to be bound to become either burning dumpster fires or turn just uninteresting and boring as they converge on the lowest common denominator of interests/opinions. I have self hosted IRC, forums and git servers in the past, but honestly what the point if free speech is not really an issue where I live and it’s just maintenance cost for me? So far I found mob mentality and self censorship within communities much more worrysome than anything imposed by government and big tech.
