Libreho.st – The Librehosters Network (opens in new tab)

Much of this fails at the most basic principle of marketing. You get 5 seconds of attention (maximum) before people bounce forever; don't make them dig.

First tell me concretely what you do. Do you aggregate links to FLOSS service providers? You can spend as much time as you want being vague after that. If you start with vagueness, you'll lose a large percentage of your audience immediately.

What services? Which software? In order to know anything about any of them right now, a person has to click through to every single one, which they will not do.

What's the liability involved in participation in such data collectives as hosts? From running a Tor exit node to un/wittingly seeding leaked restricted docs, someone who believes in digital freedom of speech and open access to information can unknowingly poke a beehive by trying to do their part.

What are the latest books, communities, or cross-jurisdictional resources that pragmatically outline the risks involved for individuals running a computer servers hosting other peoples' stuff? The EFF comes to mind, but I know they're a small team and there might be a more focused group.
