So don't. There are multiple services you can pay a small fee to to host your own instance with only you on it.
- Ombudsman 3y agoYou don't see how that's an even larger barrier to entry than just picking an existing home server?
- JoshTriplett 3y agoIt could certainly be more user-friendly than it currently is, but no, I think it's more user-friendly than having to pick a home server and worry about whether you picked well.
