This is good to see. I feel like self-hosting is no longer really a priority for a lot of people, even privacy advocates. As things get more cloudy, people end up trusting these third party services more and more. Even businesses and schools are using cloud services like crazy.
I think there should be more talk about federation, exporting and importing data. It also seems like serverless is the new hotness and getting a lot of former self-hosted advocates' eyeballs.
Self-hosting is a lot of work for the everyman, but distributed trust (family, work, neighborhood, school, etc) federation seems better than the status quo. This might not be a popular position since most startups depend on roping people into centralized clouds, but eh.
I wrote some about it and the Decentralized Web Summit here[0].
