How would it be any different from https://masto.host/, https://elest.io/ or https://communick.com/ (All of them provide mastodon hosting exclusively on European infrastructure)?

It would probably be quite similar
What services? Mastodon? Lemmy? Anything federated?
It says Mastodon in the title. But i'll edit the body, to make it more clear :)
Oh, hah. I double checked the whole post, but forgot to look in the obvious spot 😅
Cool project! I hope it takes off.
One question, I know Mastodon has become a sort of market standard for the microblogging fediverse — but for people who just want a single-user/"vanity" instance, wouldn't it make sense to offer something leaner like GoToSocial?
Because GTS is less resource intensive than Mastodon, that could then also be an environmental argument?
AFAIK, Communick is the only service provider offering GoToSocial (disclaimer, I am the owner).
With servers in Europe, maybe. I've seen K&T pop up in search results, but they're in Florida... But the more to choose from in the Eurozone the better, right?
Edit: There's also FediMonster with servers in Germany.
How would this be different than just a normal hosting provider
The Mastodon software seems to be in a kind of anti-sweetspot for this kind of hosting service. It kinda sucks that other better options have so much less name recognition that marketing becomes hard.
