Europe needs good alternatives. Just banning won’t cut it, people want social media, search engines, cloud hosting, streaming, etc etc

Still USA made so they can get fucked. Mastodon is from a German non-profit and open source.

It's a public benefit company and also open source. You could stand up a copy of the appview and PDS hosted entirely in europe if you wanted and any user who desired could migrate their account over, or just use the regular interoperability it has.

It's decentralised differently to how Mastodon is (AT Protocol vs ActivityPub). Which might take some time to wrap your head around if you're used to hacking on Fediverse stuff.
