in reply to Tuta • • •Yes, "Buy #European" is trending but it also sucks. A lot.
Hear me out: I understand and also feel the urge for tech #independence, particularly from the US, right now.
But just because something is European doesn't make it good or ethical.
@Tutanota People shouldn't trust you because you're "from Europe" or German or whatever. But because you have an #ethical business model, employ good people, care about your users, respect #humanrights and build free and #opensource software.

in reply to Jan Penfrat • • •As long as we talk about tech independence or digital #sovereignty primarily in terms of geography and jurisdiction, we will lose as users and as people with rights:
1. Because this narrative can easily be co-opted by antidemocratic, nationalistic forces.
2. It takes away attention from what actually provides us with independence: software #freedom, #interoperability, a power shift away from #bigtech to small, decentralised, ethical tech.
3. It gives praise to entities...

in reply to Jan Penfrat • • •3. It gives praise to entities that don't deserve it just because they are "European". Point in case: the certainly well-intentioned @goeuropean project, which recommends (among many very ethical companies) some really terrible "European alternatives", e.g.:
* #Volkswagen, #Audi, that built cheat software into their cars to make them look cleaner
* #Inditex, #Zalando, some of the worst #fastfashion polluters
* #RedBull, the drinks company owned by an Austrian far-right #billionaire

Unfortunately there is no way to use Element/Olvid effectively if my friends and family are reluctant to move away from WhatsApp.

alternativesto.net listet 3 auf. leider gibt es dort kein "european"-tag. kurze ai-unterstützte recherche ergab:
perplexity: aws 😞
phind: aws 😞
you.com: deutscher Betreiber in den USA 😒
👉 chat.mistral.ai/chat 😃
👉 morphic.sh ist open-source also überall hostbar (keine Ahnung, wo diese Instanz läuft)
👉 perplexica ist ein FOSS-clone von perplexity.ai und auch überall hostbar

in reply to Tuta • • •Hey @Tutanota why not Nostr.
For me Nostr is way better then Mastodon and gets better everyday.
You said Mastodon is nonprofit and not under pressure from stakeholders.
But they can get under pressure of governments pretty easily. Just look at Apple and the UK. Even if Apple wouldn´t be a profit company they still would get pressure.
Nostr is a open-source decental protocol.
The is no company and no ceo behind ist. So it can´t get any pressure.
Mastodon is good, but Nostr is even better!

in reply to Tuta • • •thanks for your answer. It would be awesome if you could take a closer look on this, because you´re the privacy pros :)
Don´t get me wrong, everything you said about Mastodon is absolutly right.
But for me Mastodon is the second best "social Media".
I mean, i really like Proton, but they´re the second best after Tuta, so for me you´re the Nostr of Mails and Proton is Mastodon 😊
