Mail: Posteo is missing.
Also: Spotify is a bad joke.

Not really big on not trust for Proton currently either.
Also: Kindle?

Thank you for Informative infograpahic. However i have doubt about recommending Waterfox, in my opinion it should not be recommended for the reason that its involved in an unclear business practice to sustain its development.
Waterfox is a fork of Firefox with some tweaking, probably somewhat close to LibreWolf which i think have better offering for being more a community driven project.
However, web browser is a complex piece of software, features and important bugs & security fixes being added from time to time, so it is also important to consider how fast they merge the change from Upstream (Firefox). If it's too long to to get update it could introduce security issues. So as of now i don't see any viable alternative to Firefox, Chromium or even Ungoogled Chromium.

Spotify? Is this a joke? Lol
-
Spotify donates to Trump and is overall horrible.
-
Deezer is a French alternative to Spotify, it pays artists a little bit more. https://www.musictrendz.com/post/which-streaming-service-pays-artists-the-most
-
Qobuz is another French streaming service that pays one of the most in the industry

Access Industries has a 41.4% ownership of it. They also own Warner Music Group.
Also:
In 2015, the company donated $1.8 million to Super PACs supporting Republican presidential candidates Scott Walker and Lindsey Graham.[75]

What’s the reason they give mastodon the privacy badge, but don’t give it to lemmy or signal?
-
The Fediverse is great, but privacy really isn't its thing. Anyone thinking the Fediverse is the privacy-focused choice has really misunderstood the whole pitch.
-
That's what happens when you half ass your work.
-
Honestly privacy and social media don't make sense together at all. With all of these platforms, your privacy = how much you share on them. You can't share sensitive information on any social media (corpo or federated) and expect it to be private.
-
Privacy is not only anonymity.
It also includes things like security and built in surveillance capitalism tools.

And they unironically say to join them on reddit.
-
They do call out switching to Lemmy in the graphic at least, thought that was pretty funny tho as well. Could link to a Lemmy community as well for the same thing
-
My guess is that it's to reach the people on Reddit but not on anything else.
-
-
Spotify doesn’t belong in there at or or in the left being transitioned to another.
-
free: arrr... (distant parrot noises).
To be more on topic: In deezer you could listen to audiobooks in correct order with just a random email account.
My last disappointing use of spotify free was, as it force-shuffled the album I was listening to.

Of all the alternatives for gmail, why suggest another American solution? GMX (.com, .net, .de, .ch) has been around for 30 years, is fully German owned and hosted, and got both free and paid tiers just like mail.com.
-
I know many people feel entrapped by streaming services, but I switched to Bandcamp like 10 years ago and have never been happier with my music habits. I buy music I like on Bandcamp Friday and store it locally on my PC/phone. Load up and take away as needed.
Sure, it's a bit more effort to purposefully seek new music, but I love that process. Makes it a very deliberate listening experience.
-
I though Orion was free to use?
-
It is.
Guessing OP marked it as paid thinking it was because Kagi search engine is paid. Same developers.

Funny how the social media section doesn't mention Facebook, which is by far more used here in Romania than Twitter/X, nor Instagram. For the latter the fediverse alternative is Pixelfed, for the former one could either use Friendica or make account on a Mastodon instance with higher character-limit - the one I use has the cap as high as 10,000 characters, so I can type long posts just like on Facebook, instead of just tweets. There is also Veklar, which claims to become soon a more GDPR-compliant alternative to fediverse, allowing private posts and messages; the problem is that it's not decentralized, but its only server is based in France...
When it comes to browsers, one could look into Zen Browser (the developer seems to be from Spain), Librewolf (possibly US-connected, keep that in mind), Floorp (desktop-only; developers seem to be Japanese), and for Android browsing probably Iceraven or IronFox.
Signal? What about Threema and XMPP clients?
-
MASTODON
-
Wasn't Qwant secretly tracking you or something?
-
I have just changed from fastmail (Australian owned, but hosted in the US) to mailbox.org (German owned and hosted, as I understand it).
The reasoning is that I didn't want my email provider to be reliant on a US hosting service. This graphic has fastmail as a preferred choice though, and doesn't mention mailbox.org at all.
-
There's also the free ksuite mail/drive as a free email alternative!
-
probably not the right place to ask but I can never view posts like this in full resolution. Like I zoom in and it's just blurry. Right now I'm using photon web front end to view the post on dbzer0.com
edit: oh this image is hosted on a third party image host. The image hosted on lemmy is just the thumbnail.
