Comment on Why Big Tech’s Lobbyists Are Targeting Self-Hosted Servers

Honestly, it’s a tough case to defend. Sure game servers are fine and a bullshit claim by lobbyists, but who isn’t using their home server to stream pirated media?
I think we should normalize buying media again. I’ve been getting more and more albums off Bandcamp and buying DVDs and Blurays. It would be nice to see digital releases become decently abundant for TV and Film.
The real thing even has benefits. I enjoy having the ease of getting both english and french dubs to my favorite shows. Means I can watch them with my family.

Yeah I buy media and host it for my home network. Holders, distributors, and platforms just need to make the stuff I buy from them something I permanently own and control without technical limitations, and I’ll happily patronize them.

Me. I’m not using my home server for pirated media.
Fuck you
I use it to maintain sovereignty over my data and keep my personal information from being sold to the highest bidder and used against me.
We need to normalize owning and controlling our own data and not being cattle for the oligarchs to herd and feast off of

Doth protest too much?
Listen I do the same and think its a worthwhile effort. I just have been hanging out in these virtual spaces long enough and I know what people run.
Did I say we should normalize anything else? lol
