But isn't Vercel fascist? I thought I've read that on Lemmy/hexbear before

yeah I feel like taking free money from this guy or his company is a bad idea for a project's independence. It's bad enough that they've been hosting it on this guy's cloud service.

You can't accept anything for free without compromising it. That's how the entire NGO world works.

Not paying 50k a month definitely beats paying 50k month.

Cloud service providers give away their service for free to non-commercial projects and startups all the time for marketing purposes. I wouldn't read too much into it.

But yeah best to still look for hosting alternatives.
