“All platforms in the EU have to have a dedicated page on their websites where it says how many user numbers they have in the EU and where they are legally established,”

I think that's standard on mastodon and pleroma instances.

Under the DSA, platforms with more than 45 million users in the bloc qualify as “very large online platforms” and need to follow stricter content moderation rules under the commission’s supervision.

Clearly defined rules? How interesting... but moderation is a thing on the fediverse so, meh... maybe mastodon.social has to worry about it.

Smaller platforms are still required to comply with the law, but are regulated by the EU country where they have a legal presence. That’s so far unclear in the case of Bluesky, which was created expressly to avoid a centralized ownership structure.

And yet they're not decentralized yet... if ever. Anyway, servers are physical.

A while back i was looking for instances in the EU and while a few claimed to be from a few different countries, their servers were all in Helsinki...

Are you serious?

but they took the money and did none of the work.

It's called fraud in my neck of the woods...

So not 🙅‍♂️ ? 'Cos what you describe seems like "we'll chop your head off if you don't leave".

Slackware, Devuan... or Gentoo, which took the sanest approach and actually lets you choose init system, are all good alternatives too.

They never stopped being bad, they've just refined their tactics.

And it wasn't COBOL.
