I can't see community-hosting taking off. I do not trust anybody telling me about E2E encryption that I can not prove.

I barely trust Google.

I trust the long bearded neighborhood nerd much less than most companies. Even if I probably am that person in my neighborhood. But nobody should trust me, and I am not going to tell them to trust me.

Even if everything is encrypted, I can almost guarantee that the community shared server will be confiscated by the police once in the next three decades.

Yeah, trusting people and systems is hard. But we live in a society and trust is just part of the game. For me, I am far more likely to trust a community of people that all build, operate, and own a service we all rely on than a company that will sacrifice anything for profit.
