Self-hosting is the practice of running and maintaining a website or service using a private web server, instead of using a service outside of someone's own control.
"private" a radlib is someone who pretends to be radical but are simply just another neoliberal, like the freakish class of Xeni Jordan ass technocratic redditors lol
Self-hosting allows users to have more control over their data, privacy, and computing infrastructure, as well as potentially saving costs and improving skills
"improving skills" (neoliberal Obama PMC eye lasers meme) MORE SKILLS??? Wow! That means these filthy working class creatures are less worthy of liquidation. Historical progress is truly incredible 
The practice of self-hosting web services became more feasible with the development of cloud computing and virtualization technologies, which enabled users to run their own servers on remote hardware or virtual machines. The first public cloud service, Amazon Web Services (AWS), was launched in 2006
these allegedly anti-capitalist redditors only exist because of the most demonic neofeudal corpos gave birth to them, really makes you think

Hexbear: "nooo anarcho-neoliberalism isn't real!!! Actually true Marxism is free association between free producers in a free market, my incredibly niche and exclusive e-anarchist praxis of forming a small cell with like 10 people in it is literally communism" 
So the dichotomy is utilize the resources of a giant mega corporation , or atmozied PMC individualism? Doesn't sound like there are any communisms here.
I would say though, that taking control of anybody's information away from a mwgacoproration is a step towards building a parallel system that might move towards a more egalitarian socialist internet
i presume the communist alternative implied here is probably a centralized (in the sense of democratic centralism) hosting service under the control of the proletariat, or a revolutionary vanguard acting in the interests of the proletariat. compare to lenin's plan for a centralized 'All Russia Newspaper' in What Is To Be Done. the demcent argument is that you can't defeat a hostile bourgeois state without a state of your own, you need a worker's state. here, similarly, the argument is that you can't defeat amazon/google/etc. without your own centralized infrastructures, especially since the decentralized infrastructures also depend to some degree on the capitalist centralized infrastructures.
Agreed - but that isn't an option now. I believe the OP was suggesting that hosting at home is worse than utilizing mega corporations data stealing infrastructure.
