  I've used Disroot in the past! (Also Autistici/Inventati, etc). A few reasons: - You are relying on the creators to run it fairly and not change their principles [0]. For us, it is impossible to not run it fairly because code, once deployed, is permanent. - Paying only for the compute used makes much more sense than paying a fixed fee every month. Imagine this: You move into a flat and the landlord gives you 2 options: A: Pay only for the electricity you use B: Pay a fixed fee and use as much electricity as you'd like I would pick A. Not only is it more fair, but it also reduces overconsumption ("Leaving the lights on because I need to fully utilize the $200 I paid"). Isn't that what we need?

    > You are relying on the creators to run it fairly and not change their principles That's why it is essential to bring your own domain. If a provider really should go in a direction you dislike, you can always change your MX records without loosing your email address.
