Selfhosted
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.

I think co-ops are the way to go, but I can understand that someone "just" wanting to purchase the good/service might not see the difference between a co-op and corporation like Amazon.
I don't think it's a size issue really, but co-ops generally stay smaller in part due to how they are internally organized compared to a "median" corporation.
I also think that the government actually does a pretty good job at managing things; it's just their failures are public. Private boondoggles might drive many people into bankruptcy, but they aren't publicized any more than absolutely necessary.
We could really use an Open Source app that partners with and displays all kinds of websites/stores to buy stuff and pay from the app
Oh, don't worry, open source (or, worse, Free Software) apps won't be allowed on Android or Apple devices, soon. /s
