There might be some changes that could improve it further:
Remove BraveMaybe add Signal; It’s easier than Element, but it’s also centralized- Stop suggesting Linux Mint specifically
- Recommend Hosted Nextcloud
Add GrapheneOS- Maybe add Delta chat
Maybe remove BlueskyRemove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it’s selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)Add ente because Immich is selfhostedAdd auroraAdd SearxNG- Add SimpleX
- Add lichess
- Add pCloud
Any other suggestions?
Temporary improved version:
| From | To | Compromise |
|---|---|---|
| X, Threads | Mastodon | Bluesky |
| Pixelfed | ||
| YouTube | PeerTube | ReVanced (just blocks adds) |
| Lemmy | ||
| Netlix, Disney+ | 🔨 Jellyfin | |
| Google Meet, Zoom | Jitsi Meet | |
| Google Docs | Etherpad | |
| Google Search | 🔨 SearxNG | Kagi, Ecosia |

🔨 = Self-Hosted only (requires running a server)
Element is owned by a company and likes to collect a shit load of data… i’ll never understand people that vouch for matrix
This is the alternatives that I use:
X - Mastodon | YouTube - PC Youtube with uBlock Origin, android ReVanced | Netlix, Disney+ - Stremio (With VPN!) | Google Search - Qwant
Startpage| Google Drive - Proton Drive | Google Chrome - Mullvad, Librewolf and Brave (with crypto stuf disabled) | Messaging apps - Session (<3) | Google Android - LineageOS | Windows, MacOS - Linux Mint or Fedora with KDE | Microsoft Office - LibreOffice | VPN - Mullvad (or proton vpn) | Google Maps - Wego.here.com or en.mapy.cz | Google Maps Navigation (Waze) - Sygic or TomTom AmiGO | Google Translate - DeepL | Google Gmail - Tutanota or Proton Mail | Google Authenticator - Ente Auth or Aegis | Password Manager - Bitwarden or KeePass | ChatGPT - Mistral Le Chat |Startpage
thanks, i love startpage!
I actually changed it, in Reddit Buy European they mention that Startpage was sold in 2019 to US company. So I changed it to Qwant (French) it also respects privacy and it’s based in Europe.
damn, but thanks for letting me know
Google Search - Syartpage
Do you mean startpage?
Yes typing mistake, I fixt it.
I’m using if for 6 months and I don’t miss google search. And the option to open search results in “Visit in Anonymous View” is something that I love.
I want to see Koofr up there among the clouds.
Suggesting linux mint specifically is good. Linux is overwhelming to new users, don’t give them choice paralysis too.

Yeet Brave & element. add jabber and irc. Swap mint 4 fedora atomic.
IRC still exists?
OP, quite a few of these are still American, some open source, some not. It’s more like a generic list of alternatives to mainstream.
When it’s FOSS it doesn’t matter so much where they’re based, fortunately
BlueSky and Brave for sure aren’t FOSS.
Revanced is just a cracked YouTube app isn’t it?
Yes it is, if you want something different there is Newpipe, Tubular (with sponsor block and returndislike) , or Freetube. Probably others as well.
None of these let you login, if that is something you need.
Don’t forget grayjay
