What's Hexbear's hosting status? Presumably the servers live in a country that won't respond to a US/UK/EU court order or subpoena?

This I do not know, hence why I say reasonably sovereign and not completely sovereign. I have been worried about this for some time now. I seriously hope @CARCOSA@hexbear.net and the admin team have contingencies and hosting options to pivot to outside the jurisdiction of all Western countries (it would be total heaven to host from China if we can), because I absolutely see the US empire trying to seize the domain, server hardware, or whatever else sooner or later. I believe China offers some rather cheap hosting, but I forget the exact details about which companies.
