Using stars as a way of deciding if something is better is such a weird way to prove your rightness. And i personally don't like that you have to self host. Ente has it as an option and it's easy to do but that's all i want it to be as with any service, an option. If you want to host photos for multiple users while respecting their privacy Ente is a better option. Photos are end to end encrypted, it means that only the person that uploaded the photo can see it (unless they shared it to someone else), not even the admin of the server (you) can see their photos. A problem with Ente tho is that the client has to do the work where as immich does it on the server so it's faster and stronger. No, i'm not paid by ente to post these, are you tho?
