Maybe it's a joke, but a problem I see in every "open source self hosted alternative" is that people tend to underestimate how much work is to self-host everything. It's either paid hosting like AWS, some intermediate docker-compose solution or your own personal server machine. In every case someone has to do the gritty work. It's either a paid service, a volunteering open-source contributor, or you.
