Slowly beginning to use European alternatives for the following. See the list below.

I figured it was a good start to all the new ones around here: Google -> Qwant Apple Music -> Qobuz ChatGPT -> Me Chat Twitter/X -> Mastodon

And of course: Reddit -> Lemmy

I will update this list as I continue 👌🏼

        So what’s the alternative you suggest then? We’re being fucked on all fronts, privacy doesn’t exist by this point.

          I don’t think there’s an ideal alternative, I personnally use Startpage right now cause Qwant was removed from the latest Ironfox update.

          I just wanted to point out Qwant had its fair share of privacy issues.

        Could you expand on the privacy issues you refer to?

        The wikipedia article doesn’t make much sense nor present anything too concerning.

        It also reads like a machine translation so it might be some nuance is simply lost there.

        @tatann @hamburgkai What are you referring to? The only thing that this says is that they were not privacy focused from the get-go in 2013 (12 years ago!).

        Also, please don’t use Wikipedia as single point of truth. I could go in there anonymously and write that Qwant is the worlds best search engine for privacy and nothing else compares or that it is the worst thing since the Stasi. Both statements are untrue. Always cross reference and do some further research.
