Why Big Tech’s Lobbyists Are Targeting Self-Hosted Servers (unknownuniverse.uk)

I recently came across a video by Loyal Moses titled "They're Banning Your Home Server".

This got me thinking about what it means for anyone who likes running their own gear.

The industry lobby's framing around private servers feels like a major mask-off moment for big tech, treating user-controlled hardware as a threat.

I have written a short piece in reaction to the video and would love to hear your thoughts.

I cannot believe this argument. I'd like to see the numbers. I bet sell hosting is a drop in the ocean.

It sounds like you agree with me...?

Absolutely ...

It's weird to start with "I cannot believe this argument" when you agree with someone but you do you.

Reads fine to me; I think it's a European thing. Imagine they said "I know, right?" at the beginning, and the structure makes a lot more sense.

Yes, was just emphasising. Don't need to read too much into it ... ;-)
