Pleroma / Akkoma Instance on an Anubiz Iceland VPS
Pleroma on an Icelandic VPS gives you the press-freedom legal posture of Iceland at the lighter resource footprint of the BEAM stack. For a community whose members value statutory operator privacy but does not want to pay Mastodon-tier hosting costs, this combination is the practical pick. Akkoma is the recommended fork.
