@postblue I still feel like server administration GUIs primarily exist to hide complexity from those who fear it.

@takepapayaakenji I think that it keeps the idealist "install you own instance" moto far away from being reached, because of blatant technical elitism. Most people don't know how to launch an SSH session. But maybe, if they're using a Linux distribution, even a user-friendly one, like for human beeings or so, they might be one day know how to update their system with the used package manager. I don't expect them to learn how to use #git so thet can start a !gnusocial instance.

@postblue I guess it's hard to see how people different from me work with technology, as it's been central to my life since I was a young child. It's not that I don't want those without skills to work with it, but having someone tell them how to act like most commercial software does doesn't sit right with me, either.
