Does anyone know if such a thing exists? A coop cloud provider? A unonized cloud provider? An ethical cloud provider? A good guy cloud provider?
This really depends on the services you’re interested in. If you want something like aws, then no 🙂
There are plenty of other service providers that do things more ethically. Bitwarden is good, random example in my opinion. The software is e2ee and their service just syncs data between your devices. It’s not really possible for the bitwarden, the company, to read or mishandle your data in a way that matters. Note that this doesn’t apply to the credit card info for paid accounts. Still, this is what I consider “the good guy”.
So what services are you looking for?

You can look at infomaniak, they host everything in Switzerland and use 100% green energy. They also build on open source standards in a lot of places.
But in the end, servers are power hungry and need a lot of rare earths, other minarals and large amounts of energy to be produced.

I use the public cloud with the smallest tier with storage to host a django app: https://pflaenzl.i
It costs around 4$/month and runs great!
