Yes, it’s a virtual server that you can get from a provider like Digital Ocean. It’s not running on your machine locally, it’s the same thing that the admins of Mastodon instances have to do to run Mastodon servers.
Nope, everyone blindly trusts AWS/Crimeflare/etc. to MITM all their traffic, storage and servers and never happen to do anything bad or leak any data. One day it’s going to bite everyone in the ass.
Even when you use AWS’s encryption feature for the VM itself, they hold the keys for you.
It’s really up to you how you set up your server and the datastore. This has nothing to do with Hollo. Again, there’s no difference between this and running a Mastodon server that will also need infrastructure like a db to back it.
I don’t know what to tell you, but this is how modern internet works. Also, nobody is forcing you to get a server in a jurisdiction where US has access to. Meanwhile, any traffic is encrypted via HTTPS, so the provider can’t actually log it. It sounds like you have a very superficial understanding of the subject you’re debating here.
