Kinda feeling like Google Analytics 4 is a trash fire and it’s time to jump ship.

What’s your favorite FOSS alternative to GA?

@paulgeller I love that the design has barely changed since I used it in 2011 and 2012

Got Plausible installed on a self-hosted Hetzner server. Surprisingly painless.

@ryansingel Nice, I’ve heard of them, was looking the other day

@ernie @ryansingel Agree with this. We dumped google analytics nearly two years ago and moved to Plausible and have been happy with it. Also used Matomo, which has some features that Plausible lacks, but it's a beast, and we gave up on it.

@mmasnick @ryansingel I see it even has a Craft plugin. Might be a good option for me

They're good folks, who have been very helpful and let us do cooperative buying.

@ernie Not sure is what you’re looking for, but I discovered Matomo today: https://matomo.org

Can’t vouch for it, but an important tech organization I know uses it and that gives me confidence it’s worth researching.
