@heisinen Great list! I recently made the switch to Threema from Messenger and Whatsapp, and loving it so far! I'm using the Ecosia web browser, but considering switching to Vivaldi, as I've been hearing a lot of good things about it.

What are the best alternatives to Facebook? I'm looking for a platform that allows you to create groups and events, and focuses on people you know in real life. But of course without Meta and all the BS that come with it. Would love something European and/or decentralized, with a focus on privacy.

Fire Musk. Then fire Musk again. Then fire Musk into the sun.

A strong Europe relies on a strong European steel industry.

We have put forward a plan to:

💡 Lower energy costs and boost clean energy access
🌍 Strengthen trade safeguards
♻️ Boost circularity
👷 Secure jobs and support workers through the transition
🌱 Fund decarbonisation

Our steel sector is the world's second but faces significant challenges.

We'll ensure it keeps sustaining a cleaner, better future for all Europeans for generations to come.

Here's how 👉 https://europa.eu/!CHR4qy

Reaching people on the internet - The Oatmeal

@alexlunaview awesome! If you haven't found a replacement for audible yet, I highly recommend libro.fm. They donate part of the proceeds from purchases to a local bookstore of your choice. I've been using it for a month or so, and loving it. Haven't yet deleted my Amazon account though, that will be the next step...

Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.

A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."

People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.

Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.

I wonder how much progress the #fediverse could have and grow in quality if the @EUCommission could seriously fund good non-profit projects that already make an interoperable web possible: @Mastodon , @pixelfed , @pleroma , @peertube , @gotosocial etc.

There are talks about BILLIONS of euros to rearm Europe, which seems justified to me. But it seems that no one puts on the table how to seriously address the problem of disinformation campaigns that undermine democracies. I found the EU project EU vs Disinfo https://euvsdisinfo.eu/, but they didn't dare to create at least a profile here.

Let's perpetuate the cycle of walled gardens run by cool tech bros and their profit seeking businesses. It is very comfortable.
