The existing crypto application ecosystem indeed has many issues. In comparison, using ready-made tools is often more convenient, but when it comes to data privacy and security, many applications are truly unsettling. Instead of worrying, why not do it yourself? Build a local deployment solution, with full control in your hands—data, keys, and all sensitive information are managed locally, completely avoiding trust risks. Although this approach requires some technical knowledge, it is definitely worth it for developers and users who truly care about privacy. Open-source deployment and autonomous operation—that's what Web3 should look like.

Building this setup locally is indeed great, but 99% of people simply can't bother --- To be honest, DIY is the ideal scenario, but in reality, most people still have to rely on third parties, there's no way around it --- Agree that privacy is very important, but self-maintenance costs are really not low, you need technical skills to do it --- Web3 should be like this, but unfortunately, the ecosystem hasn't fully matured to allow ordinary people to easily build their own --- Another "you should set it up yourself," sounds ideal, but how does it actually work in practice? --- Having control in your own hands is indeed reassuring, but if something goes wrong, you can only take the blame yourself --- There's nothing wrong with this idea, but there are very few in the market willing to really tinker with it

Building your own set is indeed worry-free, but to be honest, most people simply can't bother with the hassle.

Self-hosting is the way to sleep soundly. Anyway, those ready-made app privacy policies are like unreadable scripts; who knows when the data might be sold. --- Really, instead of worrying every day about being cut off, it's better to spend time deploying your own setup. The technical barrier exists, but that’s true control. --- That’s right, but honestly, most people prefer convenience. Building your own solution is secure, but the costs and maintenance pressure are there. --- Local operation sounds great, but who takes responsibility if something goes wrong? Sometimes the cost of DIY is greater than the trust risk. --- This is the path Web3 should take. But the problem is, how many developers are truly willing to tinker themselves? --- Holding the keys = controlling the destiny, that’s just so right. If you’re not self-hosting, what are you waiting for? --- What does environmental management mean... anyway, the core idea is good, but the learning curve is indeed steep.

Building your own solution sounds great, but everyone who has actually tinkered knows how terrifying the maintenance costs can be. --- Nice words, but the truth is most people simply lack the technical ability and still have to trust a certain platform. --- Local management is indeed secure, but the real problem is if you lose your keys one day, then it's really over. --- I agree with this, but 99% of users in the ecosystem just want convenience and don't really have privacy awareness. --- Self-deployment is the ideal scenario, but the reality is everyone is "having it both ways"—wanting both ease and privacy. --- Yes, building your own is the way to go, but you have to survive the "tinkering phase" first. --- Privacy is something you ultimately have to take responsibility for yourself; it can't be outsourced to anyone. --- I've tried it myself, and after six months of no maintenance, various problems kept cropping up. So I gave up. --- Web3 has been hyped for so long, but most projects still can't escape the fate of centralization. --- It's a good idea, but what about architecture costs, maintenance costs—how do you calculate these?

Setting up your own is really cool, but honestly, most people are still afraid of the hassle and don't want to bother.
