Is that the reason why it's hosted overseas? I think it's interesting that an instance "intended to serve citizens and residents of British Columbia" isn't hosted in BC.

Ideally it would be hosted locally, with backups elsewhere for disaster recovery. Being hosted locally means better latency, and that local laws will determine how the data is handled. Laws that we have influence over

I imagine this is a temporary thing while they sort out local hosting

Could be because it’s small right now and it’s cheaper to host overseas.
