Countries are growing uneasy about their dependence on U.S. technology firms.

    I’m selfhosting most of my stuff now and did closed 500 accounts, still 960 to review. It take times but I always while closing enter a comment like “lost confidence in USA for the next 50 years thanks to Trump” BTW most services don’t let you delete your account, in this case I empty all my personal data, upload blank images for profile, anonymize field, move email to temp mailbox and delete my password.

    I did some architecture and implementation to Azure for a big client, now moved to pure AKS with only OSS software, nest step for them is to quit US cloud, a lot easier if you use pure kubernetes.

    I think it is good that we reduce our reliance on US stacks, but not at the cost of using Chinese softwares.

    Deleting Reddit, instagram, facebook was really the easiest and most satisfying of all.

    I plan to organize meetup on sovereignty, privacy and self hosting soon too 😇

      I’d always get paranoid that they’d revert the changing your details like reddit did when they undeleted mass-deleted comments before.

          My question is how does someone even know the number of accounts they have lmao

          Like, over the past 2+ decades I’ve been using the Internet, I can’t even give an estimate of how many accounts I have.

        I have over 200 logins overall, but most of them are to forums that have been dead for a decade.

        The internet used to be quite a different place back in the day, people had separated communities and everything wasn’t just on a handful of massive platforms.
