For the love of all gods, stop recommending Proton, it’s run by a fascist Trump-loving cryptoscammer that hates open standards even more than Silicon Valley tech-bros. You might as well use American companies at that point.
The CEO of Proton is pro-Trump.

fuck
Seeing Proton on the list so many times got me thinking. We let Google take over all of our services, and then they got worse and worse. Is there some system in place to stop Proton enshittifying once they’ve taken over the internet? Especially in light of the CEO apparently being an asswad.
lol who give a shit? Stop bringing politics into everything
This doesn’t change the CEO using an official proton account to praise trump and call him the GOP the party of the little guy. I don’t care about their real ideological opinion, but rather whether they’re going to gargle fascist balls and betray privacy. Trust is a fragile thing
Edit:a word
OsmAnd is a great map alternative as well, works great for any type of navigation
These lists are consistently bad. To the extent I’m beginning to think it’s intentional so people don’t like the alternatives and go back to the worst.

It does feel daunting to start, but the community is there to help 😊
It took me a while to understand why some apps/services had a + on top
I can vouch for the Kdrive/Kmail from infomaniak. Great service for the price, the switch was almost seamless (with gmail forwarding to my @ik.me mail)
Wtf don’t recommend BeReal! They’ve been bought by Voodoo, a shady company trying everything they can to bypass Android/iOS privacy protection
I thought money to Lemmy (not your instance but the founders) went to a US organisation?
It’s still federated so I guess it doesn’t really matter much, but still…
The two main Lemmy devs are European. One of the feddit.uk Admins is also now part of the team.
They get funds from the EU, so I don’t think it’s a US organization
omg again with this propaganda 😱
There is also Aptoide to replace Google’s Play Store
That’s how i came and register from reddit just like 5 mins ago and this is my first ever comment.
SAME ! ～(つˆ0ˆ)つ｡☆
That’s a good one
Maybe I’d add airvpn too, but either way, a good guide
(Among others I have filen, protonmail, simplex, matrix, lemmy, keepass, lemmy and organic maps:)
There’s also Norwegian Jotta Cloud for cloud drive.
Why does everyone recommend Vivaldi and opera is left out? Genuinely asking 🙏
As of the end of 2023, Opera Software was 72.4% owned by Kunlun, a Chinese public company, making it a subsidiary of that company. Opera CEO Zhou Yahui is a controlling shareholder in Kunlun.
