I have now completed transferring all my applications from #DigitalOcean to #Scaleway. Still got a couple minor things to sort out, but the bulk is done.

Until 2 weeks ago, I have never had any problems with DigitalOcean. They provided good, stable, cheap, not-exactly-big-tech cloud services that I have used personally and professionally. I have a problem with their #government – personally, not speaking as a professional here.

DigitalOcean is located in the #US, which leads to two problems that can no longer be ignored:

1) the introduction of the #CLOUD act gives US governments rights to spy on any service provided by a US-owned company, even if that is hosted elsewhere. This was a problem when enacted in 2018, and has become even worse in 2025 when the US demonstrated it is willing and able to abuse this power for #political reasons.

2) by paying for US cloud services, I am indirectly supporting the US. It is entirely #unethical to support the US, a #hostile #regime.

Sure, this is not directly attributable to DigitalOcean; they may be as much a victim of the US government as anybody else. Sucks for them. Maybe do better at voting next time and elect a government that doesn't actively drive away customers?

Oh, and two weeks ago, somebody at DigitalOcean rolled around in a pile of s̵h̵i̵t̵ #AI and smeared big stinking globs of t̵u̵r̵d̵ #LLM all over the cloud console, making it much worse to use. This is absolutely not a point in their favor, though #DigitalSoverignty is the main driver for me leaving.
