As a US-based person, just no. It is not desirable to host anything here or to trust any US-based service for a number of reasons.

It’s not just the US being an undesirable country to host servers - plenty of people live in countries that are hostile to privacy.

This need not concern the physical location of the servers, just their purpose and audience.

  Gotcha, I suppose I was reading into this a bit too much:
  
  pick an instance that is located close to them geographically
  
  Definitely agree with your idea in this case.

  Right. Midwest.social is not hosted in the US, but it’s for the Midwest region of the US.

Now this is a good reason to move a community to a different region.

I think ICE is the scariest thing the US has done in decades. The online world is not even important compared to the evil stuff they are doing.

It just shows a mentality in Trump that is similar to Hitler. Also that he murders people on Venezuelas boats without any trial or legal actions. Just murders them.

So yeah. I will actually move my stuff away from aws even. I dont want any US in my life.
