I had no intention of ridiculing anybody, there are things that I self-host but I like to pick and choose my battles instead of a blanket "I must have control over everything" approach. My response was specifically to this comment:

This was the commentary on the outage, and it's just outright wrong. Your self-hosted instances will also experience outages. That's the point I inteded to raise.
