There's a point here, but it's really narrower than it looks.
Many individuals can self-host to a level that meets their needs. Not everyone needs anti-DDoS on their web server. Not everyone needs 10GB of space for email accessible from any device anywhere. Almost no one needs a global anycast DNS network.

At the individual scale, self-hosting is not a good way to “be in control of my data.” It’s like saying I do a vegetable garden to be in control of my food. I need much more than I can grow, it’s an inefficient use of my time, and I’m one bad season away from losing it all. Resilience and transparency are key to be in control of my data and I can’t achieve this alone. This is a social problem, we need to bring solutions as a society. #sovereignty #selfHosting #gardening
