IMHO (In My Humble Opinion): It shouldn't be "Getting of US-Tech", it should be "Getting of proprietary tech".

Open Source and Free software, open standards, supported by local experts that are part of the global community β€” that's the way to #DigitalSovereignty. Many have already chosen that path, so the current push is more of an accelerator, a catalyst, not a radical change. The difference between Revolution and Evolution is just one single letter :)

Proton is everywhere, but not on Mastodon! They left it.
Except for Telegram, exclusively on US platforms!
Why is that?
Instead of constantly introducing new services, they should reconsider their media presence and support channels.
It isn't that hard to support a Mastodon channel or to built an Open Source support community.

Never forget:
Every support request (even mails their support) at Proton goes through US channelsβ€”none of which are E2EE.
I don't understand the connection to privacy here. There is still 'much' room for improvement.

I would like to see all content creators take up this topic as well.

If anyone has something important to say to the public ... Then say it in the public and not inside a walled garden.

If bloggers who don't understand that, they don't grasp they're effectively chanting in an echo chamber. And then I don't care what they have to say either.

Yeah, I get you can sign-up for "free". My privacy matters more than the hosting service's capability to track me. So no thank you!
