My website has grown to 20 categories.

Please check it out. Which important categories and alternatives are missing? What should be removed again?

(I've noted earlier feedback to consider removing Proton, Brave, Signal. Which I will try to address by next month.)

I've added the controversial topic of AI chatbots. While I think there can't be truly sustainable options, I think it makes a difference whether you enter your prompts on privacy-threatening, intentionally biased and military supporting providers or with providers who adhere to rules regarding fair use of AI and privacy.

May I ask why do you consider removing Proton, Brave and Signal?

[–] kjtrnc@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Here's my post from February: https://lemmy.ml/post/42584169 Commenters mention questionable behaviour by Proton's and Brave's CEOs and Signals reliance on Big Tech infrastructure.

In my opinion, we should only judge the product and not people surrounding it otherwise I bet we can find dirt on everybody.

But I would say even then Brave has done some shady things(the whole crypto facade).
