Thanks to everyone who participated in the first 5-Week De-Google Challenge on Signal!
I’m about to start another de-Google challenge AND a de-Amazon challenge on Monday.
Here is info on the de-Amazon group. (Signal group and PDF plan)
The de-Google Signal group is here.
And for the de-Google challenge we’ll be using this checklist
I hope you’ll join (and share) one…or both!.
Maybe I can bring it up in the group during the challenge. Any idea what good hosting alternatives are, especially for huge businesses?
In the past I had been partial to Icelandic hosts because they’re not in the 14 eyes, but they’re still European so there’s that to consider. There’s also likely good hosts in Russia, China, etc. Other than those two countries, it would probably be a good idea to look for hosts based out of the global south, and they’d probably need servers in several countries to provide the traffic balancing large clouds offer. I haven’t looked recently, but I know Panama used to have a lot of hosts. That’s probably a good place to start.
