Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Didn't Facebook build infrastructure and give out free phones in India and other developing nations to get them online? I'm sure it was more to harvest their data, but I'm sure that counts pretty solidly for them

They got a service provider to let its users browse Facebook for free, but that was banned a year later for being unfair. It's still a thing in other developing counties I guess.
