Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

I don't know what makes you think South Americans are not under US influence cause I can tell you things in Brazil look exactly the same: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter... well, Whatsapp is also absurdly popular around here but I don't think it qualifies.

What's app is also Facebook.

So facebook, threads, What'sapp, Instagram are all FB owned lol. They need to be broken up for being that huge.

Sure, that formulation was not very good. But you get the idea. There is not only the "western" social media world. But what does it look like? I have no clue about what people use in Africa for example.
