Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

And if you're one of the people who can crack a beer open with the owners of Google, then you found your right community.

However, in the general case, I don't think these count as any individuals communities. You can't rub elbows with the people maintaining Google and Facebook. You can't talk to them about issues you're having, they're not going to dynamically modify the system for special cases that are important to your community. A community is a group of people who know each other.
