I think you could take this arbitrarily far.

This can be said about literally anything. And it’s a “slippery slope fallacy” to use as an argument.

There are “appropriate levels of understanding” I’m advocating for. I’m not even saying “don’t use yunohost” - just understand what the components you’re using do and how they interoperate.

Some people get into self hosting because they want their data to be their data. They don’t care about the particulars, they just want that peace of mind.

These people are the worst. What they want is fine - but the idea that you don’t need to worry about the particulars is ridiculous.
