It’s a bit contrary to the spirit of self-hosting to promote giant centralised walled gardens, like Cloudflare. Please remove selfhosted@lemmy.world from the sidebar (otherwise, why not add whatever self-hosted Facebook communities there are?). Also consider removing selfhost@lemmy.ml because it’s centralised by size (the node size is 2 standard deviations above the mean).
I propose in place of those two centralised communities, these free-world decentralised communities instead, which are more conducive to avoiding centralised power:
!selfhosted@krabb.org
!homelab@lemmy.lidstah.info
!selfhosted@lemmy.nexus
!SelfHosted@europe.pub
!esc@europe.pub
Self-hosting is often motivated to escape centralised oppressive control. Not always, but at least for me it is the primary or secondary motivator for self-hosting in most situations. Self-hosting is the extreme opposite of centralised control, in effect. So when the side-bar of the group suggests that people go to a bigger (in fact, the biggest in the threadiverse) more centralised community, credibility and philosophical alignment are questionable. It indicates a conflict of interest.
The other motivator (for me, anyway) is privacy, which is hand-in-hand with avoiding centralised services. Cloudflare (L/W) is also antithetical to privacy.
