There might be some changes that could improve it further:

  • Remove Brave
  • Maybe 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 Bluesky
  • Remove Stremio and add Jellfyin (even though it’s selfhosted and not a direct equivalent)
  • Add ente because Immich is selfhosted
  • Add aurora
  • Add SearxNG
  • Add SimpleX
  • Add lichess
  • Add pCloud

Any other suggestions?

Temporary improved version:

From To Compromise
X, Threads Mastodon Bluesky
Instagram Pixelfed
YouTube PeerTube ReVanced (just blocks adds)
Reddit Lemmy
Netlix, Disney+ 🔨 Jellyfin
Google Meet, Zoom Jitsi Meet
Google Docs Etherpad
Google Search 🔨 SearxNG Kagi, Ecosia
Google Drive Nextcloud pCloud, filen, Proton Drive
Google Photos, iCloud Immich Ente
Google Chrome Librewolf, Firefox Ungoogled-chromium
All messaging apps Element (matrix) Signal
Google Home, Amazon Alexa Home Assistant
Play Store F-droid, Aurora
Google Android, iOS LineageOS, GrapheneOS
Windows, MacOS Linux Mint

🔨 = Self-Hosted only (requires running a server)

    I would add SimpleX, Session, Threema, and Signal. Telegram sucks, and while I love the stickers, it sucks. As the other person said, Stremio is torrenting, which puts your IP address on as billboard. Don’t do it without a VPN or running it through Tor or I2P. I would add every Proton/Tuta product as an alternative to one of the 3000 Google products, like Gmail and Drive. However, I will ALWAYS recommend privacyguides.org ;3

        • No encryption by default (you have to start a secret chat to have end-to-end encrypted communication).
        • No encryption for group chats and there is no option for secret group chats.
        • They store all your chat history on their server and have the keys to decrypt it at any time.
        • They have a pretty shitty support, if you need to report a bug or something, you can’t easily do that.
        • They have a broken testing process for new features, may be pushed to streamline without making sure those work properly. I don’t use it as my main communication app but even with rare occasions - the app crashes way too often.

          Ah okay. I mainly use it for file transfer between my devices. Is there a better way i could be doing that that you know of?
