Hi folks, just wanted to share my experience and strategy with transitioning away from US-based digital services. As you can see, the blog is on GitHub, so it's not about perfection. Happy to chat in the comments!

My transition strategy: jurisdiction and comfort first, then decentralization, then open-to-inspection

Uhm. Why? Some nice FOSS projects are based in the US, but if they're made by a community and don't rely on an online service, then it is probably fine. I wouldn't use a closed source EU service over one that's FOSS and where we can verify what it does.
