The thing is, it doesn't matter how many languages you speak somehow you end up not being able to communicate anyway because of the language. Some anecdotal evidence:
I speak Polish, German, Swedish and English. Me and my siblings went to Morocco for vacation, my sister was vegetarian and we wanted to order something without meat. The guy at the street food stand didn't understand and then he asked: Do you speak Arabic? No, Do you speak Spanish? No, do you at least speak French? Also no. None of the languages helped even tho the other guy also spoke 3 languages.
After speaking 4 languages fluently I moved to Korea thinking it'll be easy to pick up another language. After 4 years of living here I still can't even have a very simple conversation. The language is so different that even after trying hard and spending money and time the learning doesn't move forward. And me working from home mostly with Europeans makes it even more difficult, but I can't get a local job without the language, chicken and egg problem.
Every language is good to know, and I kind of agree with my grandfather that every language is like another hand you have to disposal, but somehow you end up in situations that even 6 hands are not enough ;)
I don't mind paying. In fact I do that to keep my privacy by hosting most of my social media myself instead of using big corps social media and other services like immich, ollama, home assistant, Firefox sync, ttrss, and many more.
I'm not only paying for the hardware but also with a lot of time to host and keep everything up.
If you think this will stop at immigrants then you're just very naive.
Nazis also started with queer people, and Jews then political opponents like the communists and independence fighters like two of my great grandfathers in Silesia (they were pure Germans) at the end anyone who didn't fall in line.
Do you realize it's just a funny meme picture on the internet? We are on linuxmemes@lemmy.world and the picture is so mild, it's just a friendly poke for fun and you just try to tear us a new asshole for that, damn, chill.
Isn't my dad the hosting provider? I ordered the hardware, he connected it to his switch and his electricity and pressed the button to start it the first time. From there on I logged in to his VPN and set up the server like I would at Hetzner.
But you're right it doesn't really make a difference. I feel the only difference it makes for me where I post my questions on Lemmy if it is in a !selfhosting community or a !linux community.
From a feeling perspective, even if I use Hetzners cloud, I feel I self host my single user PieFed instance (and matrix, my other websites, mastodon, etc.) because I have to preform basically the same steps as for things I'm really hosting at home like open-webui, immich, peertube.
But then you can't just use the containers provided by the service developers and have to figure out how to redo their container which in the end is more work than just run it manually.
Where is the tipping point though? If I have a server at my parents house, they live in Germany and I in Korea, does my dad host it then because he is paying for the electricity and the access to the internet and makes sure those things work?
So if "Free Palestine!" is the new "Heil Hitler!" then what is "Death to Arabs!"?
