Being self-hosted in no way, shape, or form ensures that it doesn’t spy on you. You’re still putting trust in a third-party to keep their promises. The average user lacks the know-how to audit code. Hell, the average user wouldn’t be able to figure out self-hosting in the first place.
Ridiculous take.

Okay, what can the average user do to ensure this, then?

It’s actually quite easy to see if an app is phoning home. Also easy to prevent.
