Comment on Anon tries to save the internet in 2026

don’t get discouraged. what I’m about to say will likely provoke the ire of the community and may even get banned from it but nothing of value would be lost.
the selfhosted community here is a bunch of idiots who host as a hobby. they don’t take privacy or hosting security seriously and simply regurgitate the same braindead bullshit tech influencers shit out.
just to bring some context to those claims, they have Plex vs jellyfin flamebates every week where the jellies circlejerk making fun of Plex. while the Plex admins point out logical facts only to be downvoted and silenced.
point is, I thought your post was an interesting concept. you should refine it by targeting specific stacks that strengthen security and privacy. furthermore, you could implement a comms like matrix or irc for people to join your efforts.
remember, resistance is an idea that achieves a goal. define your goal and idea to build upon.
good luck.

That is quite the one-sided representation of the Jellyfin vs Pkex debate. The issue with Plex is that it adds a single point of failure to self hosted streaming which doesn’t really help for being independent

It’s kind of like you are making green knights point for them right now.

I Jean yeah, the Discussion exists and it is very present and annoying but the way it was mentioned in the comment just isn’t fair. It displays one side as completely fact based and thus immune to criticism and the other being based on personal emotions and thus not being rational. Either depict a conflict in a fair way or don’t mention it at all. It just poisons the discussion
