Warning: this is in fact a sub-toot.
A viral article about « getting off US tech » that mentions email, office suites, music and video streaming services, search and maps… but NOT the publishing platform where the article was posted.
Spoiler alert: it was Substack - the enshttf*ed Nazi bar supported by A16Z that platforms and profits from far right content.
Substack alternatives: Ghost, Wordpress, BeeHiiv, Buttondown. I use Ghost & Wordpress and LOVE them

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 186 (bandwidth edition)🚦
A moment of gratitude for #VarnishCache and how incredibly it has protected my self-hosted #Ghost blog from the so-called "Mastodon stampede" / "Mastodon hug of death":
Yesterday I published a page on my site with the French-language version of the Fediverse promo video https://news.elenarossini.com/fedivers-video/
Then I posted a message on my Mastodon account about it, asking people to boost it, so that people in the Francophone world could see it.
How many boosts did I get? 1300 so far (you people are amazing).
Well, my Ghost blog is still standing and super fast. Varnish is INCREDIBLE and I could not recommend it more.
Oh and my VPS with PeerTube is also still standing because I embedded the French version of the video on my Ghost site, so that hundreds of Mastodon servers attempted to fetch the cover image of the POST and not the cover image of the video.
Bandwidth consumption (for my VPS with GoToSocial and PeerTube) so far this month: 0.457 TB (my limit is 8 TB)
Bandwidth consumption for my VPS with Ghost: 0.06 TB (limit: 4 TB)
So far so good 😅
