[screaming-fool]

Writing a huge document on how to explore the internet better and without big tech breathing down your neck!

I give suggestions on how to find alternatives to big tech, things every internet user should have, and how to emulate safely!

I'm doing it with a lot of help from my good, longtime friend @deplorablebloke

I'm writing it on @ellipsus-writes , I LOVE this software omg it's so good!

I will post the full thing once it is fully finished!

YouTube and Other Alternatives Directory | General Recommendations

Internet Archive 💝✒️🌐

A non-profit website that serves as a massive online library, with thousands of books, videos, songs, audiobooks, podcasts, images, video games, and more. It can be difficult to navigate at times, but is overall a great option for information and entertainment. There are many YouTube videos on the Archive as well, and watching directly from there does not give YouTube traffic. As for the Wayback Machine, current consensus seems to be that YouTube only receives traffic during the initial archiving process, not later visits.

ProtonVPN 💝✒️🍎🤖🍏🪟🐧

Proton is a non-profit company based in Switzerland with a strong focus on privacy. They have a VPN, which, while it does have a paid tier, is a great free option for a VPN.

uBlock Origin 💝✒️🍎🤖🍏🪟🐧

A good adblocker is an important part of navigating the web. uBlock Origin is a browser extension that is generally regarded as a great option, but it is not accessible on Chrome, and may also be inaccessible on other chromium based browsers.

Privacy Badger 💝✒️🍎🤖🍏🪟🐧

Another browser extension specifically designed to block trackers, specifically designed to be user friendly. It requires virtually no knowledge to use.

AlternativeTo 💝🌐

A website designed to help you discover and compare alternatives to various platforms and websites. If there's something you'd like to know alternatives to that isn't covered by this directory, it's probably on AlternativeTo.

Looks like AO3 have started blocking VPNs - I have been getting these SSL errors for the past week using Proton. They mysteriously disappear when I turn my VPN.

I expected better from the org - the community that uses the site is formed out of minorites who have restricted access to content without VPNs or have valid safety concerns and therefore want to hide their internet history.

Imo I should have the choice on if I want my ISP to see my requests Vs my VPN provider. It's very disappointing when you want to read and instead you're diagnosisimg issues.

Looking for VPNs sucks because you probably need one but I don’t trust/ vibe with any of the companies that advertise them.

There's currently a boycott going on against Xbox for Microsoft's contribution to the Palestenian Genocide (more details in the video)

If you want some other alternatives for Microsoft products in general, try:

Linux OS: A free, open-source alternative to Windows, with many different distros to choose from. Some common recommendations I've seen for beginners are Linux Mint, Arch Linux and Ubuntu

Proton Mail: A free, end-to-end encrypted email service. Also includes Proton VPN, Proton Sheets (Excel alternative), Proton Pass (password manager) and Proton Drive (cloud storage) as part of a Proton bundle, all of which are dedicated to user privacy, so they won't steal your data unlike most tech giants

Libre Office: A free, open-source and private office suite (like Microsoft 365) that's compatible with Microsoft 365 files. Includes Writer (word processor), Calc (spreadsheets), Impress (presentations), Draw (diagrams), Base (database) and Maths (formula editor)

If you have any more suggestions, please reblog them

Censorship comes in many guises. Fight back with Proton.
