I never imagined the original post would go so viral and be seen by +6M people. But I guess it shows there’s real momentum — and the perfect time to finally escape big tech’s grip.
I went through hundreds of reposts of the image and took in feedback from community comments. I’ve replaced USA-centralized apps like Brave and Bluesky with more open alternatives, and added self-hosting indicators.
As many of you recommended, I’ve also created an online version with descriptions that we can constantly update and improve.
Drop a comment if you have suggestions for a better alternative, improved description, or a feature for the site. Let’s break free together!
Total noob here, can stremio be used to escape big tech legally?
Not really, but big tech breaks the laws all the time so why shouldn’t you?
It’s not a moral thing, I just don’t have the luxury of evading the law like big tech
VPNs make it easy and affordable but yeah, if the juice isn’t worth the squeeze for you that’s understandable. There is a bit of setup/maintenance as well that can get sort of complicated.
