>Self-hosting complicates transfer of ownership.
Elaborate. Are you talking about in the future, in the event that I no longer want to host?

I would have sovereignty as host, whereas the current owner effectively has sovereignty on 8chan or whatever other chan we end up migrating to. I don't see any structural problems or new trust requirements involved with self-hosting, other than the particular anon you need to trust. Is your concern that he has a solid track record, while I have no reputation?
