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:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
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.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Upon a cursory read, it sounds like you host a server and then relay all of your data through their centrally controlled system all while also pushing your account data to them.
I’m not sure they understand what “federated” means. Or rather, they know, but they’re hoping we don’t care.
Federated means you shoulder the cost of hosting the bits users care about, while they harvest all the value in what you post!
My feelings about it aside, are there any technical benefits to ATproto over ActivityPub?
TLDR; Sorta federation. It is possible to selfhost data.
Love random browsing lemmy and seeing posting screenshot with my bsky server :D
<Sanders meme.jpg> I am once again asking for a fucking blurb describing the fucking tool when you’ve got fucking news to share.
ATproto and activityPub aren’t compatible are they? So we still need to wait for a bridge.

there is a bridge, but some parts of the fediverse got very mad about it

Are users… scared of federation?
Soooo…. the work of self-hosting with none of the benefits? It sounds like this has all the core problems of Twitter.
