@RealGene@hachyderm.io @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place decent web hosting providers will generally give you one-click Let’s Encrypt certs, though, so this doesn’t really feel like it’s a roadblock? Sure if you’re self-hosting off a box in your house, that’s still a problem for ease of use, but at that point there’s at least four other things standing in your way too.

@alahmnat@woof.tech @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place Every time I mention certs, there's a reply, or several, like this, and every one mentions LE, and how easy it is, and everything else is hard too. But nobody ever addresses that for those sites that made Web 1.0 fun and interesting, there's no need for TLS anyway, but your site will be still be treated like it's malware, and everyone scurries back to the walled gardens full of paid vipers.
