It will transform into a mass exodus when more people do and get more people to do to get others on FOSS and OSS

Texas is actually a swing state with more blue than red but gerrymandered to win

Better yet say “Then give me your bank account info and social security number”

Can you link the client you use?

No worries, great points you listed and definitely good angles on how to tackle it. Definitely will need a wide range of solutions done in tandem and those are definitely up there as well

I completely forgot about Pixelfed. Haven’t tried it yet any clients you would recommend for it?

Here is their alternativeto.net info page: https://alternativeto.net/software/revolt-chat/about/ (Great website to find open source alternatives to other stuff as well)

And here is their actual website: https://stoat.chat/

https://alternativeto.net/ (The website is not FOSS but they list all kinds of alternatives to many things that are open source)

Libretube

It will happen though everything takes time and effort. Wonder what a Mastercard/Visa open source alternative would even look like though. Facebook alt I am debating making myself with a team of interested people but building it out to see how it would be done

Open Source Alternatives:

• PostmarketOS, Mobian, Ubuntu Touch, and FSF Librephone (Europe should partner with them all for funding)
• All kinds of AWS, and Google alts for each product: alternativeto.net shows plenty
• A person is making a LinkedIn/Indeed alternative (They posted on the Open Source community here on Lemmy) and want to make a team overtime too
• Stoat for open source Discord alt also a team in place
• A team is working on Flashes (IG Alt)
• Another team on Spark.so (TTok Alt) 2 decent alternatives for now until we get full blown decentralized options

2025 OpenInfra Summit Europe

Motorola too to add on

That’s a clever suggestion. That would need multiple people and companies to partner up but very viable. Can also make a foundation to help setup that standard too

That’s a lot of great suggestions wonder who can make something like that because I want it too

Hmmm well for what I know so far based on your very thorough you seem capable and will be if not yet. Anything can be figured out and you look like you have done the pre-work to know what to do. Now you just need a team of people to back you up and consistent action to get it done (I’m not an accountant either haha) But I am hopeful you can do it or assist another person who wants to do that to do the same. Whichever you prefer

I get your point but I mean any countries actually lead by people who want better whether it is Europe or other countries such as Latin America, Africa, or Asia. I’m just getting the ball rolling. Genuinely asking, do you know other countries with stronger protections? Also those things are getting blocked from happening even though they keep trying. It still stands they are moving away from big tech and switching to open source alternatives which is an opportunity. Doing nothing won’t grow the ecosystem and this is one many possibilities to grow altogether. Very often things worth fighting for are not easy

We can do it with multiple countries as well to make it less centralized of an effort

Speak friend, and enter. Double tap chest in sign of respect

That’s a great initiative to setup. Do you know anyone with experience for that or do you plan to set it up? Would love for that to become a thing and can see many people rallying with you to get it done

More Quotes: What about side by side with a friend? My friends you bow to no one. I can’t carry it for you but I can carry you

Those are some great points listed! And ha too true for last one

That is a great way to look at the problem I’ll do some brainstorming and see if I can think of anything else

Very true and agree GrapheneOS is awesome and a very good thing they are doing with that partnership. Europe can partner with GrapheneOS as well since you mentioned them.

Security and privacy are both fundamental and even though they are behind compared to GrapheneOS it does not mean we can’t catch up. Alternatives are a part of life whether it is picking where to live, what/where to buy, what to buy for ingredients to make food, etc. The use case is they want to use open source already for sovereignty and long-term they will be just as good as GrapheneOS in long-term.

Yet we cannot rely on just 1 egg we need a whole nest of them so any of them can have a chance of succeeding. The ones in post mentioned don’t have an oem manufacturer partnered with yet either
