Case by case, I would imagine.

What are you looking for? I am sure Fediverse can recommend service that will help you protect your freedoms and privacy.

It seems that for many entries @european_alternatives uses labels like “EU hosted” or “EFTA hosted” to indicate where a service is hosted. See e.g. european-alternatives.eu/categ
In case you want to do more checks (e.g. where the business mail of a company that offers a service you are interested in is hosted) hosting-checker.net/, that is built by the same maker, might be useful.

I know. We are listed there under @wideangle

But go to Plausible and you will see they use Hey.com for email (US based and associated with DHH - a big no-no). Your website event might be safe, but you can’t use their support without leaking data.

Again. You have to read fine print.
