I came up with this a couple minutes ago. I think its funny and maybe helpful? Please be gentle. Have a good one.

  1. You shall not join corporate social media
  2. You shall not subject your children to predatory marketing techniques
  3. You shall spend up to 10% extra to shop locally or with small companies, more if you can
  4. You shall voice your support for fairness, equality and against bullying wherever you go
  5. You shall not think of living things in hierarchical order (x is better than y)
  6. You shall not compromise freedom and privacy for comfort or “sAfEtY”
  7. You shall pay techy friends for their help - at least in food
  8. You shall install an ad blocker
  9. You shall not praise big tech, proprietary products or IP law.
  10. You shall not use proprietary software if a good FOSS alternative exists

So no ads, sure, but then you need a commandment about paying for what you consume. Since otherwise, if we all followed the commandments, we’d be out of content right quick since you can’t make a living producing it.

Thats the fun thing about it. We had that and it works without another commandment. The idea of getting everything for freetm is the problem.

Create a post

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.
