Digital Homeownership (blog.muni.town)

Homeownership on the web is highly analogous to the physical world. Modern homeownership is mostly a story of home-rentership, not real ownership.

Incredibly, this matches the online experience, even though the World Wide Web has an infinite amount of real-estate!

You deserve a home on the web that’s built to keep you safe; a magical place for virtual living that‘s yours for life, existing in a sociable web.

This was one of my main needs when i started to look for a platform on the fediverse, while wordpress was the closest thing to what i needed it had partial support for federation but thankfully a little known gem called 'hubzilla' turned out to be exactly what i needed to set up my digital home.

This is like the matrix.

There’s also neocities.org which is also free subdomain hosting with added benefit of aggregating and displaying the sites hosted

It’s sad we’ve come to this because nobody can afford an actual home.

I have 30 seconds to figure out what this is. No idea from reading this post. Go to the site, still no idea. Go to its home page.

Networked community gardens in the hinterwebs.

Still no idea. I’m out.

I think it’s advertising for a custom domain service kinda like geocities or angelfire used to be. It’s also apparently free with the caveat that they will constantly try to upsell you on packages, and it will eventually not be free.

Neocities is already a modern geocities, so there’s that

And you lose access to “your” site if they go out of business. Sounds a lot like renting, not sure where the “ownership” part comes in.

I’m working on a protocol for decentralised hosting, ironing out a vulnerability now but it should be up for test in a month or so.

Would love to hear about it when it’s out!
