Romania for EU Fediverse Instances
Romania provides EU latency to major fediverse instances: mastodon.social around 35 ms, mastodon.online 40 ms, EU Pleroma communities under 50 ms. The country has no retention statute that affects Mastodon instance operators. EU GDPR applies to the instance as a data controller, which is the normal Mastodon operator obligation regardless of hosting jurisdiction. For EU community admins, Romania offers cost efficient EU hosting with clean federation reachability.
