Good discussion. I personally feel we need a US instance physically hosted in a neutral location.

I’d do it myself if I had the time. Reality is I can’t consistently make that time commitment. I’d be happy to throw my hat in the ring for setup/config/monitoring initialization.

I agree with your sentiment… But . world isn’t located in the US. I understand why mods wouldn’t want to get tangled up in our mess and bring home a whole heap of trouble to their doorstep for being nothing but gracious hosts.

This is a uniquely American problem that requires an American solution.
