Interesting point. I’m looking at some alternatives, I didn’t even realize just how insecure it was.

I just use an FTP to share files. It’s pretty easy to use and it’s very powerful.

Is there a specific community you mean? I’d think the only way to report a whole community is to message the admins of the instance the community is hosted by.

Reddit

I just finished setting up this instance yesterday. I also self host a few other things. Self hosting is fun for me, but probably not most people. I honestly don’t know what I’m doing but I’m doing it and it’s working lol

I also really enjoy knowing I literally own all my own data. It’s stored locally on my personal server. As for cost, I’m just using a mini PC someone in my family gifted to me. It’s got some hardware limitations but that’s more in theory than practice, but that’s because it’s only me and a few others who use the server so load is really low.
