Maybe not? If many people were going to do this, they'd already be running their own chevereto instance or something similar on one of the "node OS" platforms and hosting the images themselves 🫠 I just don't see this ever catching on until it's point and click easy.

I think I generally agree with that. I’m on @Quentin ‘s team in wanting more people to do it, and having it available. I would probably run an instance for example.
But I agree, most won’t.
But, I think there is still tons of good to come from it. Our little army of nerds will take this and decentralize things further than they are.
I see it as a step further, allowing to convert 5 multimedia providers into 500, from here we must continue looking for solutions to keep the protocol free, scalable and uncensorable.
The most important thing for me is that we remove impediments for anyone to be a multimedia provider.
We can already do all of this though. Umbrel, My Node, startOS all come with solutions to host your own images. I've yet to see anyone do this. I'm not trying to put down what you're doing so please don't think that. I am trying to highlight that solutions already exist and no one is doing it. So, what are you going to do that's different to make this change? That's what I don't see. Is it an education issue? Maybe? But I still feel it's a technical hurdle that isn't being solved and this ks just adding to an existing set of solutions that no one is already using. So, how do we change that?
