The fact that Google removed @Tusky from the Play Store without reason is a reminder to have your software and accounts under control.
You can start by using open source alternatives on the #fdroid app store @fdroidorg
You can find instructions for installing F-Droid here: https://f-droid.org/

If you are looking for an #opensource games library like #steam, have a look at #playnite https://playnite.link/
It can launch and organize all your PC #games and #roms in a beautiful interface 🎮

Consider #Aurora Store as an alternative to #Google #PlayStore.
What it is:
- it is a Google Play Store mirror
- open source and free
- no tracking
- available on F-Droid (#fdroid)
- works without a Google account
- doesn't need Google Play Services (nor #microG)
- not recommended: you can log in with a Google account if you wish
- UI is way easier to navigate compared to Google's Store
What are some interesting RSS feeds you would recommend?

@pcastela do you (or anyone else ready this) know if anyone has thought to designate a certain date as a mass DeGoogle date? The thought of the Google execs crapping their collective pants if they saw hundred of thousands (or even millions) of accounts deleted en mass in a single day fills me with glee.

Heard about this on Late Night Linux and it's a biggie.
Essentially, Google will be able to modify app packages microtargeting individual users. This is the way to get government spyware onto your phone to work around end-2-end encryption by capturing the content of your messages on the endpoint. Apple is doing the same thing btw.

Starting with XMPP. Where would you recommend to register an account? #xmpp
If other, please which one and why?
trying @session for the first time, why does it use Google server for notifications? How is that private?

@pcastela @rsheftel Here is a good comparison i think https://wiki.404.city/en/XMPP_vs_Matrix.
Would like to have a look into #xmpp. What are your recommendations for a server (also selfhosted) and client on android?
Any personal recommendations also welcome

Looking for a comparison of instant messaging that I found before. It had examples of #federation #p2p and centralized, as well as whether the app was open source and its jurisdiction.
This was not a table but more of a #infographic type of comparison.
Unfortunately not able to find it anywhere. Does anyone know what in talking about?
#boosts are welcome. #askfedi #askfediverse
I was hoping you could know this @itsfoss @textovervideo
Where can I register a personal domain with best privacy and functionality? #askfedi #askfediverse #askfosstodon boosts are welcome
