Replacing Google Drive is the hardest for me. I'm not a fan of the nextcloud bloat, Seafile is hard to setup. Didn't expect this to be the largest struggle of the whole process.
I’ve recently found Filen and it seems to be working well.
Nice suggestion!! I was fully on board until I realized it's not a self-hosted application :D I have some resources available on a server so I want to look in that direction for a possible solution.
Oh, right! Have you looked into Owncloud, the parent of Nextcloud that claims to be free of the bloat of its child?
Once proton integrates an office suite I'll be all set. (It's in the road map. When? Who knows?)
I used nextcloud for a while but ended up with a combo of syncthing and filebrowser to similar effect
What's the best email to use? Anyone have suggestions? usability? I haven't changed because I just end up with decision overload / paralysis.
@LavaPlanet @LEONARDE11 I switched a few times. With Tutanota. It's good and does what I need. I like it so much have gone from the free plan to the paid plan. My advice is if you're not sure, just switch.
Mastadon
recommending reddit
am I being too grumpy?
It doesn't recommend using reddit. It recommends moving from reddit to lemmy.
There's errors on the new one too but the one you're looking at is slightly old

Is startpage not recommended? Did I miss something?
As I understand, an adtech company bought a majority stake in StartPage in 2019, and though they apparently can't use that stake to force privacy-threatening changes, I personally find that acquisition disconcerting. Probably not enough to say it's unsafe to use, but enough that I prefer some of the other options out there.
Wait....what....????!!! There's paid browser out there ???
I don't think it's a paid browser (there are a few of those though) it's a paid search engine.
Orion Browser is paid.
I'm confused, I use Orion all the time on both iPhone and Mac and have never paid.
Ahh you're right, I take it back, Orion is free, Orion+ is paid if you want to support the mission.
Why no Libby. At least for the US.
Signal is centralised and may just be the next WhatsApp. Does anyone have experience with matrix? Could it be a decent alternative to WhatsApp or signal?
Lost me at signal
