The alternatives and Solutions always existed, only that they don't get enough love or support.

Example: localfutures.org VS Blackrock,Vanguard,State street..

Below are privacy preserving, community based software alternatives and some commercial lesser known but better options:

YouTube:

. Newpipe

. Peertube

. freetube app

. Odysee

Fakebook, Instascam, Twitler:

. Nostr

. Fediverse

. Simplex Chat

Music production:

. Bitwig Studio

Adobe Suite:

. Photocraft

. Gimp

. Inkscape

. Affinity Photo

. Affinity Designer

Just to name a few..

Peoples attention has been highjacked, traumatised and monetised for what's popular (sponsored) which often poisons your mind, body, soul, tracks and sells your data.

Please give your money to the good people that deserve it and those who are doing a good job in saving your bacon! From your local farmer to your Foss developer! Avoid giving your power away out of convenience, ignorance, fear, or fomo.

Pay to keep it free or updated is preferred.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

8) No Bots.

Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.
