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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

One way I thought of to encourage long form content and high quality, is to limit the number of short form content from users.

I imagined every week users would be granted 14 comments that are limited to 250 characters and unlimited long form content. You could also grant more short form comments with every long form comment or with every new oc post.

The only issue would be that long form does not mean high quality and with chatgpt it'll be easy to create long form posts. Maybe an AI system that evaluates the quality of the post could work but then gaming the system would happen.

Just a thought I had, the numbers about the length and amount of posts could be optimized or use an AI

I like that you're describing an anti-Twitter, where people have to express themselves in over 250 characters, rather than under 140 or 280.
