Hello, I would like to hear your open source alternatives for programs that we use everyday.
For me:
- Youtube music on phone -> metrolist
- Google maps ->
organic mapsNow it’s coMaps - Windows -> linux
- Android -> grapheneos
- Reddit -> lemmy (racoon client on phone)
- Youtube on phone ->
newpipeNow it’s libretube - Youtube on pc -> youtube-tui with mpv
- Music offline -> yt-dlp
- Clients for offline music -> pc: rmpc phone:gramophone
- communication -> signal, might change to molly
- usage of localsend and syncthing, but syncthing is little buggy for me with long name files and permissions :/
- amplitube plugin for guitar -> guitarix, which i used to under rate
- want to move from discord -> element, but i have to try screensharing with audio and etc.
- maybe will try to move from yt to peertube, but i think it lacks content. I have to dig deeper
Thats my list, tell me yours :)

Yeah but it might be hard as fuck to get my friends on there
Signal protocol is not open. Should be removed from your list if you can’t adjust.
I need to make a minor correction:
While the protocol is technically open source, self hosting a signal requires recompiling the client to connect to the host.
It’s not federated.
Yeah, I’ve heard only server side of signal is closed source, but i think it doesnt matter because messages are encrypted before connecting to server if i get it right, also signal uses google’s firebase notification push, theres molly fork which changes it.
