By the current estimate, we develop and maintain over 20 separate services just to have nostr.build online and work for all of our customers, free or paid ones. I love the enthusiasm about self hosting, but if you want to do it at any scale that is beyond 5 people, it’s a lot of dedicated time and work.

A soberania individual exige esforço e dedicação, como Epicuro disse, "não é o número de horas que vivemos, mas a profundidade". Auto-hospedagem é liberdade.
Moderation and database, I’d say. Self-hosting for yourself doesn’t need moderation, but the moment you allow others to upload, you have a legal obligation to do it or face jail time. CSAM reporting obligations are also a hard one, and cannot just ignore it for the same reason. Lastly maintaining an always-on service can be a hustle, and ensuring tracking of security issues and such. I am sure I am forgetting a few more, but this is a good starter.
