Does such a thing exist? A coop cloud provider? A unonized cloud provider? An ethical cloud provider? A good guy cloud provider?
This really depends on the services you’re interested in. If you want something like aws, then no 🙂
There are plenty of other service providers that do things more ethically. Bitwarden is good, random example in my opinion. The software is e2ee and their service just syncs data between your devices. It’s not really possible for the bitwarden, the company, to read or mishandle your data in a way that matters. Note that this doesn’t apply to the credit card info for paid accounts. Still, this is what I consider “the good guy”.
So what services are you looking for?
VMs with external IPs would be enough, so your typical VPS. Updated the title.
There’s this list which might be of your interest https://codeberg.org/jonatasbaldin/delightful-sustainable-vps
Oh yes, this is useful!
I’m a big fan of DigitalOcean, they’re very much geared to developers. Had a chat with them a couple of days ago and they seem good guys. IMHO way more ethical than Amazon.
It’s worth pointing out that they’re now a publicly traded company.
If you are willing to join a German cooperative, you could (German language only):

They are quite expensive though.

Definitely not Hetzner, lol.
What’s wrong with Hetzner?
Have been customer with hetzner for more than 10 years and they are awesome. First physical server (HDD swaps in 10 minutes!) Now on their cloud environment. It just runs and is cost effective!
You can even use terraform to describe your resources and have them created automatically, or use the API from any programming language.
So… you’re looking for communism in the form of web hosting? 😜
This is the most lemmy thing I’ve seen in a while.
