Reject online services, embrace your own platform

-

For a long time I've thought about making a website but never got the incentive to actually make one. This lack of interest stemmed from the fact that I always thought that building and maintaining a website was a very complex process, also, I always had the illusion that social media was a superior alternative compared to owning a website. But ever since I got banned from social media without even understanding the reason why, I've realized that maybe social media ain't that good of an alternative and it's more of a liability. From that point, I decided to actually build my website and put some content on it.

Now, I must say, as my final veridict that it was one of the best decisions I've ever made, not only it allowed me to create my own "platform" however I wanted "making my own rules" and to post whatever I want while making sure my information and metadata doesn't get harvested by any evil corporation.

As my final verdict, I must say that this has been one of the best decisions I've ever made, not only it allowed me to create my own "platform" however I wanted to post whatever I so please, but it also allowed me to make sure my unintended information and metadata doesn't get easily harvested by any evil corporation.

It's actually not that hard to own a website and it's actually pretty cheap, with around 2€/$ you can get a domain name for an entire year, and with around 5€/$ a month, you can rent a VPS where you can host all the services you want.

It's actually not that hard to own a website and it's actually dirt cheap, with around 2€/$ you can get away with a domain name for an entire year, and with around 5€/$ a month, you can rent a VPS where you can host all the services you want.

Currently my VPS is hosting my own website, my search engine, my chat server, my email server and my git server.
