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 👌🏼

    To your list, I’ve also switched out:

    • Gmail for mailbox.org
    • Google calendar for calengoo
    • Drive for koofr
    • Netflix for Mubi
    • Google docs for onlyoffice
    • Edit: and chrome for Vivaldi

    No complaints so far, they don’t all have exactly the same functions as the products I replaced, but they very much do the job and I’m happy overall.

    Koofr and mailbox also respond rapidly to tech help requests 👍

      I’ve been using Mailbox.org for 3 years and it’s great, but for me my best European cloud discovery was Koofr. I’ve been using them for 6 years now? And I never, ever had a problem

        Yep would’ve switched to koofr ages ago but I’ve been happy with the Google drive experience until I wasn’t…

        Koofr is great, very user friendly!
