It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?

    I Don’t have WhatsApp anymore. Though I just deleted my WhatsApp account and said that I am no longer reachable via that crap. If you want to contact me use Signal. Most of my friends just installed Signal (a few took some time), but if you don’t do it that way you will never get away from WhatsApp just because of the network effect… And yes, you will miss out on some groups

      I appreciate this mindset. Sometimes you just have to go cold turkey

      did the same but with Threema

      The fragmentation is really shit. I wish more such APPs would be interoperable.

        I’ve had Threema for a while even before that, because my family group migrated there. Though I do not have a lot of contacts on there :D
