I think they key is: despite regular people not wanting to RUN their own server, they do want to CONTROL their own server. Current incumbents treat your data like tier asset, not like custody.
This is because you pay nothing. The beginning of regular people having empowerment begins by paying some fee to own the product.
- clpm4j 5y agoNone of the regular people I'm familiar care about their data at all. If you use any of the popular social media apps (Twitter, TikTok, FB/Instagram, Snapchat), then you can't really claim that you care about your data, and most of the people I know use those apps on a weekly if not daily basis.
- creata 5y ago> If you use any of the popular social media apps (Twitter, TikTok, FB/Instagram, Snapchat), then you can't really claim that you care about your data That's not true. I don't use any of those, and I understand the huge toll it has on my ability to participate in stuff. Many conversations happen only on Twitter or Facebook, so it's perfectly possible to "care about your data" and still, as a necessary compromise, use those services.
