Google alternative - Lemmy.world

what are the best Google alternative apps ?

Google Voice - Cheogram Contacts - NextCloud Calendar - NextCloud Tasks - Task.Org Keep - Joplin Maps - Magic Earth Passwords & Sign In - Bitwarden or Keepass Docs & Sheets - Open Office Gmail - Proton or Tutanota Dialer - Simple Dialer Files - Material Files Chrome - Firefox YouTube - Peertube Photos - NextCloud Bookmarks - NextCloud, Floccus, or XBrowsersync

I use all of these but I still have to use Google Voice and Maps because they are just superior to everything else imo. And sometimes gmail because certain website logins are locked to my old Gmail’s.

Not open office, libre office.
Not Libra Office, Only Office. After all we are replacing Google, so we need integrated collab (without an RDP hack).
OnlyOffice is run by Russians.
Is everyone in Russia responsible for the actions of their government?
Nope. I have met the team from OnlyOffice. Really good people. Always helpful and always friendly. And nothing is beneath them when it gets to support.
No, but totalitarian governments tend to get into everything, and a popular piece of software is something they will be interested in.

I always find it amusing how everyone makes these statements for Russian/Chinese software but never look at the government interest in Facebook, Google etc

… no shit bud, we’re litterally discussing alternatives to these platforms here. We know my dude. That’s why we’re finding alternatives.

Russia has one hell of alot more ability to do this to random pieces of tech in their control than the US by the way, same with china. That’s public and written into their laws. Not as much in the US.

Though, yes, finding a company outside of the 5 eyes is a good idea, we are not the “everyone” you’re talking about. Fuck man, we’re on lemmy for gods sake
