I offer a reflection on your idea of a strange irony: This is a question of attention and money flow. Molly White claimed ownership of Molly's work and took on providing the infrastructure to self-host. This means that _Molly_ does not have to contribute directly to a network effect that amplifies voices Molly does not agree with.

In effect, Molly took the argument that voices that Molly does not agree with can always self-host to get their message out and embraced it. Molly's voice is now self-hosted. Molly, in effect, embraced full libre, rather than be silent and accept that Molly had to agree with whatever the hosting provider decides to do.

Myself, I'm really more interested in what happens next to Molly. I wish Molly all the best luck as Molly grows the endeavor.
