It’s not inherently insecure. There are secure email services but all parties have to be using it.

Some do but many do not.

I don’t have a specific problem. I was asking, much like OP, for general guidance.

It’s a very complicated thing. And all the resources I find assume you already have advanced knowledge of Docker and networking and proxies and VPNs and on and on.

I asked for help a while back on here but most people ridiculed me for daring to ask for personal help.

I’ve since managed to get a few services running.

I’ve set up a Mobilizon instance and will create a group there to try and help others.

DM me and I’ll send you my contact info and I will share what I’ve learned.

This is one of many reasons I set up a backup at my parents’ place. Was an extra $200 or so but my most valuable data is backed up there also.

I also have my favorite photos printed every year.

The difference is in what type of data is made available. They can’t suck up your IP address through ActivityPub.

Why bicker about which is worst when they all are varying degrees of terrible?

Because using none of them is unrealistic.

13 years was a long time ago

1. Pretty certain these things have razor thin margins, if any.

2. You’re supporting them MUCH more by giving them your data. According to Proton the average Google user is worth ~$400/year.

Pixel phones are mostly designed to be flagship Android experiences, not generate hardware revenue.

Yep. I’m interested to see where homie goes.

There’s also Gladys assistant which looks like a HA fork.

I’ve tried to set up a business installing HA but I need someone smarter than me to provide support who is interested in profit-sharing.

HAOS is intended for people who want everything to just work, without much fiddling.

AHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well I can’t see any accounts…

Thanks. Is there a way to export fediseer list? And import into Mastodon?

Unfortunately there are still lots of important people contributing to the platform.

Musk was a trailblazer for Spez.

Same thing 🤷

It’s not confusing.

The quotes were my indication that I don’t personally find it confusing, but a lot of people obviously do or it wouldn’t have that perception.

People just have different ideas about what the experience should be

If they have different ideas, it’s because they are confused about how it works. There’s only 1 way it’s ever going to work. There’s no debate to be had. No one gets to control the Fediverse, and no one needs permission to join it. That is inherent in it’s fundamental design.

when they offered the visionary plan again last year I jumped on it

I learned my lesson from Plex about lifetime subscriptions…

Maybe you could set it up to run for a family member? I’m always trying to recruit more self-hosters.
