The old web was decentralized:

- Newsgroups
- Personal Websites
- Bulletin board
- Email as a service, not a platform
- Internet relay chat (IRC)
- Early blogs

Then corporations arrived with money and lock-in, turning the internet into centralized ad farms (Meta, X, TikTok). Users became consumers, trapped in algorithms, tracking, and enshittification. Revenue more important than people.

The Fediverse is a way back: no ads, no algorithms, no dark patterns. People first. A web worth reclaiming. And open source is the engine of this transformation.

Take back the web. Decentralize again πŸ’ͺ Bring people to the Fediverse, promote open source and build federated services.

#nextcloud made it possible for me to (self-)host my (and my family's) phone calendars, contacts, and even when pictures are taken, they get uploaded to our Nextcloud instance, and NOT to google/apple.

10/10, would recommend for any household looking to #degoogle.

Others include #searxng, has literally replaced all monolithic search engines, works great, no ads or AI

#mastodon, for my #activitypub based social network

#matrix for chatting with my social network

Canceled my Google One subscription! Uploaded 90GB of photos to @ente. Deleted all photos and drive storage from Google and have my old gmail forwarding to my @Tutanota account. I believe I can have my gmail delete after forwarding, but I need to check.

For background:

πŸ“£ Attention all custom ROM users and advocates for digital rights! πŸ“£

Google's Play Integrity is limiting access to certain functionalities and applications for those using custom operating systems. This is a direct attack on the open-source community and a step towards further consolidating Google's monopoly in the mobile ecosystem.

The European Commission is aware of the situation, but has deemed it a low priority: europarl.europa.eu/doceo/docum…

It's time for us to take action and show Google and the EU how much we care about this issue! πŸ’₯

Sign the petition now to stop Google from limiting access to custom ROMs: change.org/p/stop-google-from-…

#StopGoogleMonopoly #CustomROMs #DigitalRights #OpenSource #PlayIntegrity #Google #deGoogle #privacy #right2repair #rightorepair #r2r #EU

Let's unite and fight for our right to use and develop custom operating systems! πŸ’ͺ

Stop Google from Limiting Custom ROMs! The Issue: Google systematically blocks access to apps and functionalities for users running custom Android operating systems, affecting millions of tech-savvy users who modify their devices. Why Users Choose Custom ROMs: β€’ Overcome programmed obsolescence when manufacturers stop updating β€’ Fix bugs in stock operating systems β€’ Personalize and customize their device's software β€’ Improve performance and privacy Google's False Justification: Google claims Play Integrity ensures "app security" by verifying unmodified app binaries on "genuine" Android devices. In reality, this is a tactic to: β€’ Maintain its mobile operating system monopoly β€’ Restrict user choice β€’ Convince developers to stay dependent on Play Store Our Demand: We call on European Union to consider investigating the monopolistic tactics, and ask Google to allow custom ROM users to: β€’ Access all applications β€’ Use device capabilities fully β€’ Exercise their right to modify owned technology This is about digital freedom, user rights, and challenging corporate control over personal technology. Sign now to support technological freedom!

Stop Google from Limiting Custom ROMs!

GrapheneOS and android 15 beta upgrade. Pixel8 on the big screen, unbeatable. I probably won't think about a linux phone, at least not for a while, because now I have a notebook in my pocket, without google and most FOSS apps. Tidal from the phone looks good on the big screen, all other apps work too. #GrapheneOS #pixel8 #bigscreen #nextlevel #degoogle

I wish there was a decent Google maps replacement. Not just for navigation--that's fairly simple--but rather for local SEARCH. How else are you supposed to search for stuff nearby? Yelp is the only alternative I even know of and it's terrible. Nextdoor is arguably a contender but it's even worse. Nothing community driven whatsoever that I'm aware of...
