It is not bad per se, and I welcome all contributions. All of these are valuable.

I think the effort might be being duplicated instead of focusing on collaboration.

Tailscale or Netbird, any of them is better than setting up DDNS and securing the network access yourself.

Good job. However, I fear these directories are popping up like mushrooms, and none of them will end up being comprehensive and up-to-date.

I can remember of:

• https://european-alternatives.eu/
• https://www.goeuropean.org/
• https://eualternatives.directory/
• https://eutechmap.com/

And now https://european-alternatives.cloud/

Hungary must change its government or leave the EU. The current government stance doesn’t adhere to the European values, and the government alliances don’t match with the remaining EU countries or EU as a whole.

Perhaps these actions will start opening people’s eyes to the lack of alternatives and to the massive power that controlling financial and technological tools provides.

Result: It is possible and cheaper. The rest are details.

France, Spain, Denmark, and a couple of others already understood what’s happening and started to put things in motion. Most are still frozen in the expectation or in denial. On the other end of the spectrum, Hungary and Slovakia seem to be lost cases until they elect different people to the driver’s seat.

He is right. Some other EU countries are too afraid to face the facts.

KDE is awesome. Congrats to all people involved with it.

Does this site offer an API?

I haven’t found one of the many directories (https://www.goeuropean.org/, https://european-alternatives.eu/, etc.) that offer an API to this data. More than listing alternatives, for real adoption, we need to put this information in front of regular users when they need to use/pick one of the non-EU products/services.

Yes

This will be a slow transition, but an important and inevitable one. Citizens should also do the same.

I thought they solved the situation with Brexit. Oh well…

Great, now the ecosystem needs funding to smooth out the rough edges.

Let’s go

A Matrix server is a good solution. You can disable federation if you would rather not talk to other instances and have a similar experience to Mattermost, Slack, etc.

If you dislike the Matrix protocol, an XMPP server would work exactly the same way.

NextCloud Chat could also be a viable solution for internal chat.
