I recently came across a video by Loyal Moses titled "They're Banning Your Home Server".

This got me thinking about what it means for anyone who likes running their own gear.

The industry lobby's framing around private servers feels like a major mask-off moment for big tech, treating user-controlled hardware as a threat.

I have written a short piece in reaction to the video and would love to hear your thoughts.

Not really. It's something that's been around for a very long time and popularity has only wained as time goes on and people find other ways to host their content. It's really not a threat to any corpos, as much as I wish it was.

I cannot believe this argument. I'd like to see the numbers. I bet sell hosting is a drop in the ocean.

It sounds like you agree with me...?
