Friendly reminder that you’re not contractually obligated to use American tech. Europe actually makes things too - Mastodon, for example.

I started shifting over about a year ago. It’s slow going (yes, I’m still trapped on Substack), but progress is progress.

If you’re attempting the same escape, and I hope you do, here’s a community‑driven directory to help you find European products and services based on real recommendations.

Go European is a community-driven directory bringing you European products and services from across the continent.

@Climatehistories tbh on a personal level it's relatively easy to go all European. It's on a professional level that things are fucked. Not for a lack of options, but because so much of the industry is straight up unwilling to move.

@reiddragon @Climatehistories espechally a lot of shite in #engineering and #creative stuff.
