Not everyone can or should self-host, but the technology that enables it—federation, open standards, and vendor independence—also allows cooperatives, municipalities, and community groups to run their own infrastructure.

All this self-host techie discourse sounds, to me, a bit like a self-sufficiency dystopia. If we were discussing how bad public transportation is, and someone replied "just transport yourself", most of us would say "that's not it". But when we discuss wanting to get out of large American tech or of nazi-sympathyzing companies, the solution can't be "just host your services yourself". Having to do everything yourself is not my idea of a functioning society.
