@Illecors @Elrecoal19_0 not sure how software would relate to employment and politics in this regard, but I fully agree with the hosting part. And if it’s more of a hassle, try finding someone doing it for you. In Europe. My profile is on a server based in Finland and the server admin is kind enough to also offer me and whoever is here some small amount of Nextcloud space (can be increased if you have accounts at other providers too) along with some NC apps like, calendar, polls, tasks, passwords, bookmarks and talk. In addition to all of that, I also have an XMPP address with the same account.

Now, my Friendica node is currently closed for registration, but there are also some more popular providers like tchncs.de which offer more stuff (not yet having a friendica offering fwiw, but they do have a Mastodon instance, a Lemmy one and a Writefreely one, along with some other stuff like Matrix, XMPP or even a Minetest server). I think providers like these are the way to go for the regular folk moving forward. Or maybe something that doesn’t require hosting on an external server at all, such as Secure Scuttlebutt. I mean, we already have the phone network which doesn’t really depend on a central server (i.e. your number belongs to your SIM card) as much. It would imply less of a hassle for the regular user, since not everyone has all the time and/or knowledge to selfhost and deal with all the issues this implies.
