How much of the fediverse runs on AWS and how willing do we think besos would be to pull the plug on those?

Lemmy.ca will be moved on a fat server in Vancouver colo. Currently on cheap hardware in OVH. Not sure about .world. Probably similar. AWS is expensive. So Bezos would have to have Trump annex Canada before he'd be able to put his fingers on us.

.world and a majority of the fediverse uses Hetzner afaik.

EDIT: According to Fedidb Hetzner is the most common ASN (excluding Cloudflare).

They don't control the domain registrar's at least. Yet. (Or at least not de jure)

Don’t they have their own DNS? It’s called Route 53 I think?

Though I don’t think you are required to use it with your AWS hosts. But that’s not exactly what I meant by pulling the plug. They could quite literally pull the plug on your service. (Disconnect you from switches/routers, power off your hosts, etc.)
