Privacy focused alternative to Doodle Poll (lemmy.ml)

Hi, a long time ago, when I was less informed on privacy risks on the internet, I used to use Doodle Poll. Using my work account (only used for work and no personal resons), I accessed it again after many years as need to arrange a work meeting. It has become a lot less useful that it was as they have clamped down on free tier features.

So my question is: Is there an alternative, that is equally simple to use, and possibly privacy friendly?

Check out Framadate. It's hosted (and IIRC developed) by the French non profit org Framasoft.

I've been using when2meet (https://www.when2meet.com/), it's relatively simple and you don't need to create an account or even give an email. You create a schedule and it will give a link that you can share and you can even create a password for the event. It took me a bit of time to get used to the interface, but it's very simple and I find it a lot more convenient than Doodle, without all the useless bells and whistles.
