There is a big difference between self-hosting and hosting elsewhere: You are in full control. If you want to defederate from someone, go ahead. If you want to federate with them, go ahead. If you want to have a color scheme nobody else has, go ahead. If you want special features, your own special emoji, special rewrite policies, or whatever else you want, it's all within your power.
Once you start following people on other servers, soon it doesn't matter that you're not on the same server because you get a fantastic feed with just a few hundred active follows.

The Liberals nationalizing the Internet the way they are is so fundamentally morally wrong that the fact it's all breezing through without any problems is like everyone's worst nightmares made manifest.

The idea that something so obvious would take so long to determine is a damning indictment of the social sciences.
Too busy proving what they believe instead of measuring what is true.

Most people don't realize what the cloud actually is, so this diagram helps explain exactly how it works.
Lots of free software people forget this freedom. It doesn't matter what someone else is doing, worry about yourself.
Teaching people to install an apk seems a lot simpler than getting them to fully switch ecosystems.
Some additional info for anyone who is dumb like me and wants to do this:
To do this, I first had to install pg_repack using the postgresql repo:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Apt
Then I had to follow these instructions, including adding the extension to any of the databases I wanted to repack:
https://dbsguru.com/install-and-configure-pg_repack-in-postgresql/
I ended up just running pg_repack -a as the postgres user.
I chose to run it on my peertube and pleroma databases. Peertube was done in just a few minutes.
Note that it's a pretty serious operation. It seemed to take about 40 minutes on my relatively trivial instance, and it pegged an entire core at 100% the whole time, though the sites kept running while the operation occurred. Even with an SSD, I ended up with pretty high IOWait times during the repack because it was moving a lot of data around.
It seems to have brought my peak loads down quite a bit. The Pleroma task still can take up a whole lot of cpu power when there's lots of stuff going on, but the postgresql tasks basically idle now whereas they were significant beforehand.

Can you believe these racist conspiracy theorists in (checks card) the major airlines?
Are bedframes a thing women want?
Because I'm an alpha chad in that department. I've got like four bedframes. Bitches hanging off my dick all day long!

It's fooooine. Poor people don't heat their homes or eat food or take forms of transportation anywhere!
My son has a toy that works like this, and it's frickin hilarious.
The A, B, C, D, Circle, Triangle, Star and Square all fit in the square hole.

The summer of love riots were a political stunt largely directed by the powers that be, but I suspect real riots with the productive members of society would be much more effective and wouldn't end up in poor neighborhoods tearing up what few possessions they have.
In that context, it should be obvious why they're stomping on the neck of anything they didn't orchestrate.

Our leadership is decadent, and so they don't realize there's a physical world that can't be ordered around. We need food, we need to keep our homes warm, we need a lot other things, and if we don't get those things then we start to die (and slightly before that riot en masse) and there's no order you can give to people not to die of starvation if there's no food.
I can't get past the fact that these people seem to forget they're on a platform that allowed calling for certain forms of genocide the whole time, and oh by the way FOUGHT IN COURT TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE HOSTING CHILD PORN.
