I'm about to start another de-Google challenge AND a de-Amazon challenge on Monday. Here is info on the de-Amazon group. (Signal group and PDF plan) The de-Google Signal group is here.

Any idea what good hosting alternatives are, especially for huge businesses? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Cat_Daddy@hexbear.net 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) In the past I had been partial to Icelandic hosts because they're not in the 14 eyes, but they're still European so there's that to consider. There's also likely good hosts in Russia, China, etc. Other than those two countries, it would probably be a good idea to look for hosts based out of the global south, and they'd probably need servers in several countries to provide the traffic balancing large clouds offer. I haven't looked recently, but I know Panama used to have a lot of hosts. That's probably a good place to start. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Corduroy_Pillows_Making_Headlines@hexbear.net [S] 2 points 1 year ago Thank you! permalink fedilink source parent
