The r/degoogle community is discussing a move to Lemmy. Fed up with centralized control, users are turning to open-source, federated platforms where no single corporation owns the data.

The Substack data breach shows the risk of centralized platforms. Moving to open-source alternatives like Ghost or Listmonk puts you in control of subscriber data. Better privacy for your readers. 🛡️

Locked out of Notepad? This is the "thin-client" era. Recent account bugs left users unable to access basic text editors. When local apps need a cloud login, you don't own them.

France is moving its government to a homegrown, open-source office suite. By ditching proprietary software, they're proving that digital sovereignty is possible at a national scale. You can take back control of your own data too.

The US gov is set to destroy 50+ years of spending records on Feb 24. Public data is fragile when held by one gatekeeper. This is a reminder: if you don’t own the host, you don’t own the truth.

The EU is demanding TikTok disable addictive features like infinite scroll. Mainstream apps are built to manipulate. Open-source tools prioritize user well-being over metrics.

Spotify's API lockdown (Premium req, 5-user limit) proves the risk of closed platforms. Own your music library with open-source tools like Navidrome. No gatekeepers. 🎧

France is ditching Zoom & Teams to reclaim digital sovereignty.
