I've been pretty intrigued by regional communities in the fediverse era, since knowing your users' likely location allows you run your server nearby to maximize performance.

Having just learned about midwest.social, that got me curious -- what region is the server running in?

It looks like it's hosted in Germany.

Of course, the midwest of Europe

I believe one of the admins said that it was hosted in Germany because of their data privacy protections

That is why, yes.
