Comment on What's your weirdest or most unique self-hosted use case and solution?
Flamekebab@piefed.social 12 hours agoI’m not here to fight you. I was replying with a cool thing I wrote to share baby pics to family and friends, not trying to be the most perfect hardcore op sec person on the internet.
People I know use Signal. I have never even heard of two of the three services mentioned higher up the thread.
When I wrote it I was dealing with a newborn, auditing whether Signal passes some No True Scotsman test for open source-ness was really not my priority.
Ugh, this kind of response is so off-putting. You can reply if you like but I’m probably just going to delete the whole damn comment thread because fuck this kind of purity test bullshit.
I wasn’t asking for fucking feedback on my work.

I think this is a great response. I’m not sure what happened to “if you haven’t got anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” I absolutely agree on the purity test thing and I think the functioning solution you have created is absolutely awesome and has inspired me to try something similar. Rather than comment on the result and cool thing that was achieved, they chose to focus on some irrelevant detail because apparently it’s too hard to just say something is cool.
If you have a write up of your setup I’d love to read it. Don’t let the zealots drag you down bud.
