I am not a web developer. I am not a coder. I have enough trouble trying to get umbrel working which us supposed to be easy.
What I also am is a person that refuses to sit by and just let the entire functional internet get centralized by bad actors who are crowding or competing services by offering them "for free."
This is the whole toxic advertising fueled fiat internet architecture being used to draw the noose tighter on those that don't want to have anything to do with that kind of gross stuff.
I don't have alternatives. I won't. But I'm going to be as vocal as possible about the issues that I see with people who claim to be pro-freedom tech using services that are directly anti-freedom.
