Yeah which is why I put it last. The list is somewhat ranked top to bottom by usability.

Agreed! There are lots of excellent EU-based alternatives.

The layoffs could be as high as 20% of the company!

We can’t keep rewarding Big Tech for choosing AI over people.

We need to make the switch to support smaller & better businesses - reminder about purchasewithpurpose.io to help you get started.

Sorry for that, I should have provided the archive version. https://archive.ph/70FiR

It is truly horrifying when you drill into the numbers.

I can see that it MIGHT be useful as a tool for medical professionals, but exposing it to the public is an insane risk.

Pleasure - all fighting the same fight

Yeah also did that for my recent site using StaticBuilder and Codeberg. Took longer but well worth supporting smaller businesses.

Btw, if people are passionate about this topic. There is a community and website on !purchasewithpurpose@lemmy.world .

CachyOS could be in the gaming box

Fair enough - haven’t tried it myself so went off some peoples comments. I’ll do a deeper dive into EndeavorOS but likely needs to be put in a different category.

Didn’t know that! Will add it to the list

Completely agree on this, and maybe I mispoke. I meant that Shift isn’t entirely open-sourced. You are right that Chrome based on Chromium is open-sourced.

I tend to favour Firefox forks though as I have more trust in Mozilla as the primary developer.

Thanks for the resources! Will look at included it for the next version

The website explains it better - https://ca.purchasewithpurpose.io/

They are owned by a Japanese company, but are headquartered in Canada. So helps with employment.

Yeah, but had to include it given that it is the only Canadian option. Personally, would recommend an open-source alternative like Waterfox

You can give Ente Auth a go OR Aegis

Mastadon is usually on these guides but I removed it for EH Social. Probably should have kept it and removed Bluesky instead.

Sorry about that!

Nicely done on the rest of your progress! Clearer further along than most.

A fair question, the main driver of these guides/sites is to help people move away from Big US Tech, as they are by far the most culpable in all of this. So I include some of these alternatives in case it has something needed for someone to switch.

It is also useful to know that some of these alternatives are excellent in their own right, not simply because the other choices are being removed. This is made clearer on the website, where you can see the features listed.

There is an archived link to avoid the paywall https://archive.is/20251113160729/https://www.404media.co/google-has-chosen-a-side-in-trumps-mass-deportation-effort/

I believe a good number are moving to Bluesky. However, that is still American. Hopefully, there will be a strong push for a mass exodus from X once W Social is launched.

These are all on the website. The guide is more geared towards less technical users. https://purchasewithpurpose.io/
