I probably play 3x more for self-hosting my own matrix/mastodon/etc than I would for paying someone else to handle all that.
It'd be nice if we didn't need to host _anything_ in order to use information technology. Maybe just for backups.
@mauve I have the same question myself.
I dropped self-host mastodon and matrix for the time-consuming (and the huge costs in Brazil) problem.
Maybe I'll use some old servers to create a home data-center and share with some comrades the admin burden and the costs.
