I'm writing a piece for my personal newsletter/blog (which you can find at https://exposed.ishotjr.com/ ) about independent and #OpenSource alternatives to #BigTech. Many of us here fled other #SocialMedia platforms as #enshittification (and often worse!) set in, and found greener pastures on #Mastodon, as well as switching to #Pixelfed for posting pics, #Kagi for our search needs, etc. — what other #tools, #apps, and #services do you use and recommend? Please #BoostForReach if you are able! 🤘💗🤘

@ishotjr I ditched all privative "clouds" by using local files synced between my devices via Syncthing:
- Desktop: https://syncthing.net
- Android: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.catfriend1.syncthingandroid

One of the most useful FOSS tools out there.
