I don't use Twitter, Facebook, Netflix, Apple, Google search, TikTok, or ChatGPT.
I use Amazon to order N95 masks a couple times per year but that can be done with other sites.
Twitter = Mastodon or Bluesky
Netflix = Torrent
Apple/Google = GrapheneOS if we are talking phone OS. Perhaps Linux if both companies are gone.
Google search = DuckDuckGo, Esonia, Brave
ChatGPT = I don't trust any "AI" to give a factual answer.
Youtube = Odyssey, Bitchute, there is a video site in the Fediverse but the name escapes me at the moment.
The video platform you're talking about is called Peertube.
Also I say look into Kagi the search engine. It's a paid one, but it has provided me so much value and they also take Bitcoin as a alternative currency in case the other ways to pay are gone.
Kagi is too expensive. It's an ok search engine, not much better than anything else, but they need to lower the price to make it worthwhile.
Honestly for 5$ it is slightly better than other platforms. You get so much value if you use everything it offers and it's better for privacy than other engines. But that's just my opinion as a customer whose used it. They're small and not as robust as the giants, but it's sustainable compared to DuckDuckgo, and a fee others.
Alright I am looking again with another triail. I wish the browser that they install on android would open links in Firefox Focus (drops cookies, blocks ads).
If more people used and improved https://yacy.net/ that would be swell.
Peertube. Thanks for that.
No problemo! /ᐠ - ˕ -マ
Kagi (of which I was a happy paid customer) is US so it wouldn't fit into that scenario
Oh I understand, I just wanted to share Kagi as also an alternative as well outside this scenario. I am curious, are you no longer a Kagi customer and if not why did you stop being a customer? Maybe we can send them the feedback and they can try to improve.
