I use to follow /r/degoogle on reddit... but it felt like pretty much every discussion was people shitting on every alternative, and implying that all measures are totally pointless unless you stop interacting with any form of computer for the rest of your life. It's just so weird having people say there there's no point switching from Chrome to Firefox because google is the default search engine on Firefox. I got to the point where I really did believe there was some deliberate destabilization going on, to weaken the community. (And it worked. I unsubscribed; and I'm sure it struggled to keep anyone who actually had anything useful to say.)

Anyway... I wouldn't be surprised if /r/RedditAlternatives was similar to that.

Oof, I can imagine that sucks. Come join us on [email protected] :) Everyone seems quite enthusiastic about finding alternatives. I'm all about the Firefox, GrapheneOS, Proton Mail, Signal, Element etc. :)
