it's kinda easy to overlook this in techy circles. it's why web 2.0 was able to reach most of the world, and why the old ways of building your site / hosting your services from scratch will always be limited in reach. most people just.. don't even know that's an option, never mind have the background to know where to begin.
unless you want to tell everyone to stop using the internet (fat chance), or continue to support the centralized corpo hellscape, we need easy ways for people to spin up their own digital infrastructure, and build platforms for themselves without a profit driven middleman.
/rant sorry, this is a bit of a personal crusade to me, i love this idea :ms_awoo:
