I like the idea of the site, but yeah, the entire vibe around it throws me off - 4chan vocabulary (peasant/chad), call for donations in an obscure cryptocurrency, fully anonymous. Maybe I'm doing the site injustice, but it smells like being run by some 4chan/ancap/"don't tread on me" bro.

BTC and XMR are obscure? I'm not sure that's true.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

But what about the technical content? Why are you so quick to jump to identities. And donations are the best way to give money - nothing is locked away and you get to choose. This style of site/information should be celebrated.

I was mostly thrown off by the word "landchad", because "chad" does have a lot of bad connotations - at best it's childish, at worst it's associated with incels. The technical content looks great and yeah, I can applaud the person's cause. It's just that I don't think the challenges of running your own server were ever just technical - if people have a motivation to do something, they'll learn much more complex stuff…

Yeah this part of the site:

> Most of the internet’s problems could be solved if more people had their own personal platforms

Could really be expanded upon. A small, not overwhelming "Why" section would probably improve it. I think this does raise an issue. If you wanted to suggest a change to this site it's not straightforward how to do it. It's clearly a community style resource because the different services sections seem to be written by other people.

It's funny

The method introduced here depends on third-party VPS, which is operated by person other than you. Hence it doesn't make you a complete "landlord".

Self-hosting guide is also there, slightly below in the page https://landchad.net/selfhosting/

If you wish to make a website from scratch, you must first invent the Internet.

The operator of the Kiwifarms is experiencing this firsthand.

I dislike the vocabulary as well but XMR is by no means obscure. It’s the most widely accepted fully anonymous crypto currency used on most darkweb markets

Oh great, that doesn't make it better...

That does sound bad but it actually means it's the only crypocurrency that has any inherent value and real world use as an actual currency.

Its not fully anonymous, its by the youtuber luke smith. He has a video on it as well as links from his personal site.

So whats wrong with that anyway? Nevermind the 4chanophobia, but its telling that that is the crowd in most pursuit of freedom.

Or you could more realistically host a server at home and teach the "Chad" how to setup DNS with dynamic IP.
