Step 1: Don't host in the USA
Step 2: Don't host in a USA puppet ally

Probably good advice but not exactly relevant. The person was hosting a server in their house and got raided for unrelated reasons and all their electronics were seized. Had they hosted in a data center or at least had off premises back ups, this wouldn’t have happened.

I thought one of the points of the fediverse was to not be centralized in data centers that are more easily controlled. It's supposedly supposed to be easy and relatively cheap to spin up your own instance on your own hardware. Just outsourcing to a data center I think goes against what the fediverse promised.

Fediverse does not use magic. They are bound cabels and cpu.

In average any datacenter wil have a better connection to everywhere else.
