To be, the issue was never that no major instance was USA-based, location of the servers doesn’t mean much nowadays. It was more about the fact that no large instance was geared towards USA citizens (a la Lemmy.ca, as we discussed), with a message such as “a USA instance, for USA citizens, but everyone is welcome”. That hypothetical server being hosted in Canada or Europe wouldn’t have that much of an impact, it was more to be able to have politics, finance, news discussions related to the USA in one place
Oh yes, totally agreed there, I just presumed that such would most naturally arise from inside the USA itself. Then again, isn’t feddit.uk based in Germany? All it would take would be for someone to start it up, and begin attracting new users to it - though neither of those are small tasks, even if it could share hardware with another instance, such as feddit.uk? So if Discuss.Online were to step up instead, that does seem wonderful news!:-D
