The biggest disservice I've committed unto my friends (those I successfully swayed over onto 'free software') is not preaching the good word of 'self-hosting' - earlier.
'Self-hosting' and 'free-software' go hand in hand
I'm sure Linux users can in a moments notice list all the evil things Microsoft and Apple have done unto mankind but are content with services provided by Google, GitHub etc.
Now bauherren.ovh has it's own email server, matrix, searx instances
Work is underway to set up a full git,
It's never been easier
There are a dime-a-dozen quality guides and even dedicated guides like landchad.net that have everything you need to start self-hosting.
I'll admit it for some nicher things, like setting up an IRC chat bot, goodluck finding an up-to-date guide
