I find this very interesting, I thought of people on Lemmy as generally more open and less… bigoted, so this comes as a rather unfortunate surprise, thank you for pointing out :(
I, too, don’t love the use of AWS/Cloudflare, while I get that you can simply replace AWS S3 with something else for backups, this server setup is innately based on using Cloudflare.
Pretty unusual, especially state-owned. There was a similar program on EU level that was just cancelled, apart from that I don’t know any other countries investing in open source.
