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!

    I added a precision to my original comment so it’s clear for everyone

        Thank you for your recommendation

        Though I have to say it seems kinda very wobbly and not yet trustable. Also how does every right-wing cryptobro app have this flare to it that makes it obvious it’s built on Blockchain? (I’m talking about UI details, this is not important, just a question)

        What is wrong with SimpleX? It has always been a solid choice for private chats when Matrix was not a secure enough solution

          I don’t know SimpleX but you’ve earned my respect and it will certainly soon enter my research likely devour.
