I never imagined the original post would go so viral and be seen by +6M people. But I guess it shows there’s real momentum — and the perfect time to finally escape big tech’s grip.

I went through hundreds of reposts of the image and took in feedback from community comments. I’ve replaced USA-centralized apps like Brave and Bluesky with more open alternatives, and added self-hosting indicators.

As many of you recommended, I’ve also created an online version with descriptions that we can constantly update and improve.

Drop a comment if you have suggestions for a better alternative, improved description, or a feature for the site. Let’s break free together!

    What have I just read? I don’t understand half of your message sorry

    Also I’m not sure you know what you’re saying with “crypto” since you are on a monero themed instance. Signal does have cryptography indeed but I’m not sure I understand your point. But please explain I’ll try my best :)

      You asked what signal was, I interpreted. If you had the Q up to sign some other inquiry, it’s you that needs to be a bit more verbose. If you know what signal is then damn near everything I wrote is unessesary to need to understand bar maybe the whine ass shit about signal’s lacking security to function on the Desktop connection.

        Ok thanks! You were explaining Signal

        I added a precision to my original comment so it’s clear for everyone

            Thank you for your recommendation

            Though I have to say it seems kinda very wobbly and not yet trustable. Also how does every right-wing cryptobro app have this flare to it that makes it obvious it’s built on Blockchain? (I’m talking about UI details, this is not important, just a question)

            What is wrong with SimpleX? It has always been a solid choice for private chats when Matrix was not a secure enough solution

              I don’t know SimpleX but you’ve earned my respect and it will certainly soon enter my research likely devour.
