So when are you going to question this user [0] and others here planning to do the same thing for not having a 'multi-million dollar budget' for self-hosting their own services then?
Since clearly according to you they 'can't do it', despite me saying 'if X can do it so can someone else'. Where 'X' can be even a toy project like RedoxOS, or a messenger project like GNU Ring hosted by themselves and accessed via a subdomain.
Seems like they and other lesser known and funded open-source projects are doing just fine like that for years.
I never made that claim. The argument was “if X can do it, so can you”.
I pointed out that _some_of_these_ (Mozilla, likely the most extreme of them, had over $400 million in revenues in 2020), are quite different from the typical ‘you’, invalidating that argument.
As always, invalidating an argument doesn’t mean its conclusion is wrong.
