@kiwix Sorry you had to go through that. Please do keep us updated if they do provide any sort of explanation/apology/recourse.

Hetzner is currently set as the first supported hosting provider for the Small Web in Domain and this makes me *very* anxious.

Any thoughts/could you possibly look into this and find out what happened, @lenzgr?

@aral @kiwix @lenzgr I am also interested in hearing if they provide an explanation. Please keep us posted.

@aral @kiwix @lenzgr indeed, hetzner tends to be an interesting EU alternative to the cloud giants. Sad if they're getting into this mess.

@SolarDavy @kiwix @lenzgr Not only that but they’re affordable. I haven’t been able to find a VPS service as reliable, with an API that works so well, and such excellent performance and I’ve been looking. But I also can’t risk all the sites we’re going to be hosting disappearing overnight without any explanation (or even with an explanation, to be fair). So this is very worrisome indeed.

@aral @kiwix @lenzgr agreed, affordable, green, not a lot of extra bullshit.

I'm also thinking of what kind of backups on non hetzner storage.

@aral @kiwix @lenzgr Running my mastodon server along with few other services on Hetzner!! Need to start looking at backup strategy outside of Hetzner and avoid facing loss of data.

@aral @kiwix @lenzgr When it's fedi, the issue is usually the anti-porn rule in their TOS.

In some cases, it's in good faith. For example, with the tenforward.social, they cited a lot of hardcore porn posted/boosted by the admin, on the admin's main account.

In other cases, it seems like they don't really pay attention and are vulnerable to fake reports. For example, a series of small transfem instances were taken down over an anime picture of two clothed girls kissing.
