Mastodon seems like the place to ask. So I'm a little indie musician guy. I'm slowly replacing Twitter with here, I've been using Bandcamp but am unhappy with large corporations buying and selling it - so I got a Faircamp (no sales yet but I haven't been pushing it!). What are alternatives to other large sites. Is Peertube a good YouTube alternative? What about email? If there's one thing I've noticed about Mastodon -I know there's a whole world of ultra computer nerds on here, and I salute you.

@limneticvillains There's ProtonMail which is basically an anti-Google, with a few interesting choices, such as a passwords manager (Google will never develop one, because they're crucial to web decentralization!). Cloudflare has also stolen their captcha concept from them lol, and the user experience seems excellent (nowadays…).

Please be aware that it's still proprietary software though. The company could be sold at any time, if not for the convictions of its CEO. And they have an history of digital predation and abuse (that's a bit complex to develop, but I've written about it!).

You could as well get an account on nubo.coop, which is an email cooperative, based on free software. There's basically the “concerned, but casual auntie” route and the “free software/cypherpunk activist” one.

@limneticvillains Maaaybe you'd like to visit resonate.coop as well? A streaming cooperative. Users top up their accounts and double their payment up to the ninth, at which point they've paid 1€ for an audio file, and own it.

There are actually many artists that I can't find on other platforms!
