Rebellion against the U.S. oligarchs


Rebellion against the U.S oligarchs

In my rebellious journey against the US oligarchs, Zuck (Facebook) and Bezos (Amazon), I have managed to find alternatives to:

Facebook with Friendica
Twitter with Mastodon or Blue-sky
Google Chrome with Brave
Amazon Music with Qobuz
Spotify (who have donated £150,000 to the orange man who should not be named) with Qobuz

I can confirm that there are very good alternatives and, they are better, because they don't have ads and have better ethos. My journey was interesting and not complicated.

Qobuz has even automatically downloaded my playlists. Impressive.

@lindaduval thanks,did not know that about Spotify
For browser replacement I took vivaldi that has a built in mail client
in reply to paul haesevoets

I really like Brave and this browser uses OpenAI who are standing up to Musk. However, thank you very much, i will check Vivaldi.

Tips and tricks


How to get your FB friends on this platform?

Tell them no one expects them to delete their Facebook account right away. Post here what you would have posted for them on Facebook, even if none of your friends are here, yet. This way they wouldn't see an empty profile here, once they join friendica.
You could also write them a small text on how to join friendica and things work here, to make it as easy as possible for them.

A killer feature would be, like someone here (I guess) already mentioned, to be able to import a Facebook export. I just initiated an export of my Facebook data. I don't know what it contains and if this could work. But that would be awesome. I guess many people don't like the idea to lose their complete history on Facebook. But someone would have to implement such a tool or functionality.

Thank you very much for your advice and i will follow this trough as I have been determined leaving Facebook.
