      Self hosting is the only real solution apparently, anything else gives power to corporations/governments to abuse.

      Nowhere is safe anymore.

            Not the good kind.

            Seriously, “just go outside” ignores that some people (like us) kinda need the internet to have community at all.

            (We’re furry, therian, and various other things. We can’t just pick up a magazine or whatever and get furry porn of the exact kinks we’re into. And even besides the whole porn thing. Also just, like… being able to talk to people. We need the internet for that, too.)

      And it’s a lot harder to effectively enforce or combine with other services, such as ID, etc, because 50 states.

      Fed can only do so much, and it only takes one state fighting it to cause it to fail or at least become bogged down.
