Principled platforming
A quick glance at my blog contents makes it clear that I try to operate with intention, with my values at the center of my decision-making. This prominently manifests with respect to my computing: free software wherever possible. Locally, (almost) always. For networked services, I self-host wherever I can. Centralized platforms, I maintain such a preference for freedom, where published free (optimally AGPL) server code is provided, and often allows federation (if but in theory). These options are plentiful, but many of them have such a small userbase that it strains its value in networking.
