There are allready people building alternatives. Some are more finished than others. Read their pages!
Remember, android was build on Linux too. Under the hood, a lot of it is the same, but with more/full freedom.

Again, Big-Tech? It's time to start deleting Google apps for open-source ones. Any company that intentionally limits people, locks them in, etc. won't be a lasting relation in my book.
Vendor lock-in games days are over!
So, this really just is a public forum for us to see and Google to show on which side of the line they are!

@stevendbrewer @pluralistic Finally, RSS is getting its place back again.
Blogs are coming back, so is RSS. The art of websites above social crowds.
The 2026 edition of “I Love Free Software Day” demonstrated, once again, the strength and gratitude of our Free Software community. ❣️❣️❣️
22 celebrations in 12 European countries highlighted the invaluable work of Free Software maintainers as well as bringing people together to thank everyone who contributes to Free Software. Appreciation also extended across the Fediverse, alongside other surprises. 🚀🚀🚀
If you aren't using RSS, or not planning to, you will miss out. RSS used to be widely supported by browsers and was even showed in the url-bar, untill they removed it.
A weird choice, since RSS is a good feature, I wrote about it (https://www.codebuzz.nl/2025-07-07-reintroducing-rss). It's the next 'old' thing coming back.
If you don't know RSS, read up, it's a real value and a time-saver.
Good repo. Lot's of resources!

Imagine this, redesigning a website, 3 new pages added, with css and all. Deleting a wrong network-folder and in that same moment the filemanager locking up. All gone.
I used to like Gnome. as it improved, untill it got worse, more bloated, less functional. Obviously those Gnome days are gone. This was the last straw.
If they kept caring for Gnome, like their (idiotic) DEI, it might still be ok with Gnome. Seems politics are more important, then good code.
All in with Xfce now.
🎉 spread the word!📣
dump the fascist apps
💙 #PixelFed > ⛔ #instagram
💙 #Loops > ⛔ #tiktok
people want the followers & likes of the old apps, so we need to build a presence to attract people
i've never watched tiktok, but i made a loops page. i'm still looking for a #PeerTube to join so i can post longer, larger vids
🤔 i thought we should plan a date for an "Abandon FB Day" & get all our FB friends to switch to ? Friendica? on the same day in a mass exodus
