To really own your content, I think you need to host it yourself. The fediverse makes it possible.

It's also asking way too fucking much of the average person. Running multiple fediverse instances is basically a hobby and I barely have time for the hobbies I already have (and actually enjoy). It also is probably at least $100-200/year extra financial commitment in hosting and I'm being conservative on that number.

I'll stick to using existing instances, tyvm

I have not seen anyone in this thread ask for people to run their individual instance, but I do get your point

Edit: I know how costly and bothersome it is, I host my fair share of stuff, specifically this Lemmy instance too

The video we're commenting on has the description text

"To really own your content, I think you need to host it yourself. The fediverse makes it possible."

And hosting your own content is just not a great option for most. That's all I'm saying.
