Question:
I know that I am now reluctant to fill out a Google Form and that includes coming from researchers I trust. It's Google I don't trust with my data.
Do people know of ways to get forms and surveys up for free or a low cost that are based on servers in countries with reasonably low corruption governments? Servers hosted by companies with good ethics and privacy policies?
I just encountered something where they wanted my data and I wanted to give it, but opted not to. #AskFedi

Nextcloud can do forms. Also a heap of other fun stuff. Can be self-hosted (I.E.: free) or one can find fully hosted solutions from €5/mo... https://nextfiles.one/de/sichere-cloud-fuer-privatkunden-und-vereine-29/#preise
@ml no worries! Did some more digging: there are free providers if you want to have a play. https://nextcloud.com/sign-up/ when you're logged in as the user with administrative control, there's a little app-store with a variety of open-source apps you can run on your server, and one of them is for forms. https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/forms
(But also it's fun to browse all the other apps, some of them are super useful!)
