Thanks for the link. I’ll see how I can add on

Oooo can you make a guide on how to do that? I would love to mirror youtube channels I watch

That too content is definitely a big thing that it needs. Kinda hard to make content for it if people such a tough time setting it up in first place though

I told you on my post that I agree with your idea and that it should happen

There ain’t no philosophy behind trying to get the ball rolling more to have more conversation then more action for it to happen. Nobody knows everything. Also hope you build out this post so that it can truly highlight how good of an initiative/idea/project it is

You seem very knowledgeable I humbly request you offer to help those groups: PostmarketOS, Linux Mint, etc to create a group that focuses on getting partnerships in the way you suggested (Giving them the say explanation you gave me). You can do some and everyone else can do some too. Doesn’t have to take up a lot of your time and would help in every way literally. Can develop pipeline for volunteers so you don’t have to eventually either

There should be more on https://alternativeto.net/ when you search “DeepL” for alternatives

Since many are listed here but I am sure there are more

Interesting I’ll check them out appreciate the suggestion too

Appreciate it! Do you mean the FSF Librephone? It’s not a new phone in case you didn’t know. They clarified that the project will be to make the proprietary code blobs of a couple android phone into something FOSS so it can truly be used fully for FOSS development

That makes a lot of sense. So really we would need to make a database of local e-shops and then partner up to have phones sold. That is a genius plan to get into the public eye

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?

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/

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

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
