Overview:


The Lemmy place to discuss indigenous cultures around the world.

Are there any first nations groups that are hosting Lemmy instances? It occurs to me that, while repatriating land to first nations may be fraught, first nations-hosted fediverse servers would be at least be a straightforward path to "digital decolonisation," no?

It's a chicken and egg problem, trying to get critical mass. But also, someone has to do it first! Federated servers would be perfect here, as you can simultaneously start small, but also access a larger network.

But perhaps a simpler question: are there any successful indigenous owned web hosts? Email providers? Server farms? Etc.?

There are some First Nations owned media outlets.
