I was mostly thrown off by the word "landchad", because "chad" does have a lot of bad connotations - at best it's childish, at worst it's associated with incels

The technical content looks great and yeah, I can applaud the person's cause.
It's just that I don't think the challenges of running your own server were ever just technical - if people have a motivation to do something, they'll learn much more complex stuff. The thing is that there isn't a lot of motivation for ordinary people to setup (and maintain!) their own server if some cloud megacorp archieves the same. So I think, you also have to explain why you should want to run your own server as a non-nerd - and I think starting with 4chan might archive the opposite here.
- Kretinsky 3y agoI think you're overthinking what's just some internet humor. I find the site quite personal and humane, and much more likeable than any PC-corporate SaaS blog.
- raspyberr 3y agoYeah this part of the site: > Most of the internet’s problems could be solved if more people had their own personal platforms Could really be expanded upon. A small, not overwhelming "Why" section would probably improve it. I think this does raise an issue. If you wanted to suggest a change to this site it's not straightforward how to do it. It's clearly a community style resource because the different services sections seem to be written by other people.
