    It is practically possible. You just have to put in a small amount of effort. Anyone saying it’s too hard has given up without trying.

      I work in IT. Trust me, it’s well beyond a lot of people.

        I work in tech and I promise it’s not. I worked my way through support and engineering and then did development. I promise people aren’t as bad at tech as they appear to you. The only thing stopping people is laziness.

      It’s not “too hard”, it just completely unreasonable to expect people in general to self host as a way to “fight against tech billionaires”.

      I can assure you that most people would find the amount of effort required to learn, implement, and maintain self hosted services to be unpractical.

        It’s not impractical. It requires effort and Americans are too busy watching Netflix and spanking the monkey to do much of anything.
