I know this is such a Hacker News question, but is there a good place to gauge what good places in Germany also have solid internet speeds (100/30)? I’ve thought about moving there, too, but it’d be great to narrow the places in German

Gargron closed it off during its peak, not because of the load, but because mastodon.social became too synonymous with Mastodon proper, so he forced people to go to other instances so everyone wouldn't be in the same basket of eggs. A

If nothing else, I like how this might stir some interesting discussions about the state of the economy. One thing I'd like is a link to the cited data to make it a little more serious and conducive to debates.
