Well, the flyer originated here: https://old.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1jcr8ks/here_is_the_new_and_improved_guide_to_help_you/ but mastodon stands out as it has no commercial driver. There aren't any ad-services profiling you, so that is a big win for your privacy.
Yeah, but all your data is public, everyone can see it
You can set a deletion time and hope that every client comply with that :-)
There's also the free ksuite mail/drive as a free email alternative!
Is Waterfox the most recommended Firefox alternative nowadays after the recent Firefox controversy?
Also not sure I would call Proton privacy focused. I still use it, but they have been rating out an environment activist to French authorities before.
No Threema?
Unfortunately, Threema will never be a real alternative because of the price tag. There are just too many good alternative that are for free. For example, Element is European, privacy-wise good and for free.
Kmail suite for mails, cloud... (Switzerland ) they have a free plan (15GO for the cloud, and the cheapest paid plan is 2e/month for 1TO (20e/year ).
Threema for discussions (Switzerland) . the application is 5e, definitv not cheap for an app, but it is a one time paiement.
Swisscows (Switzerland), mullvad Leta (Sweden) as search engine.
=> they do not use their own index system but brave or google (you can choose for mullvad)
All those options are Europeans and have strong privacy policies.
@SrMono isn't bluesky also US owned
Absolutely, and they evaluate training AI on user content. It's just a stopgap solution, I would always recommend mastodon instead.
Last time I read here that Tidal is American. Which is it then?
Ecosia also has a browser for Android and Windows/Mac. Just not Linux. Vivaldi is great for Linux.
