Thanks.๐Ÿ™ Gaming / Gaming Platforms is one of the upcoming topics. Do you already have specific alternatives in mind?

Great to hear! I can't say anything bad about the Proton Mail product. I noted the criticism of the Trump-friendly comments by Proton's CEO and got aware of false claims regarding the privacy of its newly released Proton Meet.

Here's my post from February: https://lemmy.ml/post/42584169 Commenters mention questionable behaviour by Proton's and Brave's CEOs and Signals reliance on Big Tech infrastructure.

Yes, will definitely look into those. Thanks for suggesting. Social Media will be one of the next categories. Didn't know of civicrm, looks great at first glance.

My website has grown to 20 categories.

Please check it out. Which important categories and alternatives are missing? What should be removed again?

(I've noted earlier feedback to consider removing Proton, Brave, Signal. Which I will try to address by next month.)

I've added the controversial topic of AI chatbots. While I think there can't be truly sustainable options, I think it makes a difference whether you enter your prompts on privacy-threatening, intentionally biased and military supporting providers or with providers who adhere to rules regarding fair use of AI and privacy.

Thanks for the input, Arthur. I consider removing some of those picks or at least flag them for the issues pointed out. Are there some Messaging apps you'd wholeheartedly recommend?

Ouch, how embarrassing. As @eleijeep@piefed.social pointed out correctly: it's a typo in the url. The correct URL is https://www.sustysubs.net/. Added a link to the website now.

Yesterday on Digital Independence Day I've launched a small website suggesting sustainable alternatives to BigTech products.

I've started with five categories: Email, Search, Maps, Browsers, Messaging.

There are some controversial picks in there like Proton Mail or Brave. They do have a pretty wide adoption but have severe downsides. I'll probably remove them again. What do you think?

Which categories would be the next most important ones to add? Which services did I miss on the existing ones? Feedback welcome.
