This entire thread is a reminder that everything good in this world relies upon your ability to trust that the people you interact with aren't secretly plotting to fuck you every which way they can.
This is literally the basis of all advanced civilizations, specialization and division of labor.
If you can't trust your ISP, computer hardware, OS, software, and hosting provider—if you can't trust the companies with whom you are doing business not to be evil, everything falls apart.

I am not interested in running my own #email server, #weblog server, etc, etc, etc.
That's a full time job in and of itself, and I know this, because I founded what was (as far as I know in the mid-1990s) the first 100% broadband end-user ISP in America.
I don't want to be in that business, anymore. I don't want to run my own #fediverse server, my own #newsgroup server, my own #webforum server, especially because so many of these basic services rely entirely on network effects for usefulness.
