Emelia 👸🏻This is a nice site for discovering EU based alternatives to US based tools: https://european-alternatives.eu
Oh, and they're on the fediverse: @european_alternatives
@@thisismissem Looking at "Search Engines" kind of shows the problem though: Out of 6 alternatives, 4 are just frontends for Bing, 1 is a frontend for Google, and 1 "combines search results from other providers".
@pettter hopefully that'll inspire someone EU based to write a better search engine & crawler
Sette (they/them)@thisismissem @Mojeek is missing
AGF : poemproducer@poemproducer I don't maintain the site, go to the website and ask it be added if you think it should be there
European Alternatives@thisismissem Thanks for sharing our site! :)
Stefan Offermann@offermann @thisismissem I don't get it, we are on Mastodon, aren't we?
Liminal witch 🧙♀️ Sarah@thisismissem @european_alternatives good to know something like that exists, otherwise I'd have to try to create something like that, except I wouldn't be as nice
My top contender for it was fuck-wisconsin.eu
Koz Ross@thisismissem @european_alternatives It's be really nice if there was some information about whether an Android app associated with a service was open-source or not. Having to manually dig out this information is rather tedious, and for many of these services, I'd _definitely_ not want a proprietary app!
Edit: Never mind, _just_ saw the 'Open source' tag.

Zaclys@doublesandal @thisismissem @european_alternatives Hi ! Yes true :) We hope Zaclys french alternative services to be added on your list. Please let us know how.
Marcus Fruit@thisismissem @european_alternatives I honestly don't like the balkanization of the internet, but I understand the need for alternatives.
Random Host 🐕@thisismissem @european_alternatives Maybe you should take a look at the Web.de and GMX trust pilot ratings and remove those two from the list of email providers.
