No. It’s hosted in Finland. Ruud is Dutch, though.
Although he posted that he had to follow strict German anti piracy laws 🤷🏻♂️
Because the company with the servers in Finland is German.
You're right, I must've gotten that mixed up. Still, Ruud is based in the Netherlands and I'm not sure how the hosting laws work across country borders. Strangely enough, the-federation.info lists lemmy.world as hosted in the United States...
I asked about that a while ago and apparently it has to do with a VPN or something.
Yeah, they use CloudFlare so it would look like that.
