Just last week, two people asked me if I could help them set up a service and move their data off of the big US tech clouds. It may still be small, but the trend is real.✌️

@sesivany do people actually move off or just duplicate stuff and keep running all those US-based commercial stuff "just in case"?

@stooovie Hard to say. I don't cancel the accounts for them, but they usually pay for it and it wouldn't be very economical for them to keep it running.

@sesivany @stooovie what is the advantage of paying and setting up Nextcloud compared to getting it for free from one of Nextcloud partners? Privacy? Learning?

@WoundClad @stooovie Getting it for free? Certainly not with the amount of data they have.
I didn't mean Nextcloud installations on their premise. I do it for myself, but I don't think it's good every one, actually it isn't for most. By "setting up a Nextcloud service" I mean picking something like Hetzner Storage Share and setting it up the way it works for them like the old solution.
