By all means avoid the most egregious, but aren't basically all online services hosted on AWS/Azure/GCP anyways?

Nope. Your feddit is not. The EU cloud services are listed here (and others) are not. Tuta is not.

I don't think any of the alternatives listed here use AWS/Azure/GCP. I did not check the search engines, music streaming, mubi.com, and Collabora.

The only thing I found is that OnlyOffice allows to connect to GCP and AWS (you need to enable it on your own): https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/workspace/administration/control-panel-storage.aspx

And Mistral is available on AWS, Azure, GCP, but that's because it is an "open-source" LLM ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

That's actually amazing, thank you for the insight.
