Including the US. I don't want to be dependent on this stuff any more than anybody else does.

This is the point of time in history where the people usually start a revolution. Do that.

This is one of the things where the nature of the modern United States makes it hard. I routinely go around telling people that the current regime in Washington is illegitimate, nobody should obey them or listen to their lies, and that I look forward to the day they're ripped from their thrones and tossed in prison. In most places and times saying that would make me a revolutionary, but in the US it's not even arguably a crime.

Usually, it's a crime when people do stuff. Complaining that the government is bad is free in almost all democracies.

What counts as doing stuff? Minneapolis has been hitting the streets for days trying to chase a major federal agency out of Minnesota, a cause which I and my elected representatives publicly support. But it's a huge country, Minneapolis is thousands of miles away from me, and outside of airport security I haven't personally seen an agent of the federal government in years. To me, following federal agents around blowing whistles at them and yelling that they'd better leave town seems clearly revolutionary - except that under US law you have a right to do that and the feds can't stop it.

Exactly. I live in the US but I'd like to switch from US apps and services controlled by US oligarchs such as Elon Musk and Zuckerberg to European alternatives.

Then you should do that.

I just moved all my hosting and domains out of the US after 15 years of good service.
