Save my UN, if it's old internet, somewhat accessible, I'll do my best to multiply.
My plan is to have a self hosted, private site for the family. In the old days, people made their own sites and others could visit. I see this as a replacement for social media - instead of using facebook to catch up on family, this would be a self-hosted alternative. People could still use facebook for other things if they wanted, but this would be somewhere you would know you'd see all the posts people were making, with no ads or manipulative algorithms.
Despite all the options, it's actually a hard thing to find a good solution. There there is promise in some so I haven't given up hope yet.
In terms of public sharing, I see Lemmy as one form of that. Anyone can host their own instance but we all share with each other. No ads, algorithms are known and published. For things more like a personal site, it's never been easier to self-host things.
Send me an invite and I'll chat with folks seldomly.
Also, I do see Lemmy as exactly that, I just hope it becomes more wide spread.
