Hey Lemmy!
We’ve released gofoss.net, a beginner’s guide to free and open source software, privacy and sustainable tech.
The site is available in English, French and German. We hope that it can help some of you to:
- safely browse the Internet
- encrypt your conversations
- protect your data
- switch to Linux
- free your phone from Google & Apple
- join the Fediverse & use alternative cloud providers
- self-host your stuff
The source code is available on GitLab. Happy to chat, let us know what you think!
For more information, please come find us at gofoss.net :)

Nice initiative, but I’d suggest to
- remove Signal as it’s centralized and the server source code is not constantly updated (and likely different from the one published at any given time)
- replace Firefox (that is Google’s geek friedly subsidiary) with LibreWolf (for PC) and Iceraven (for Android) available in FFUpdater in F-Droid
Mull is also great.
I’m in the market for a new phone and would very much like to abandon Android.

Oh shit. A modern-designer website fully compatible with UXP-based browsers. I love it.
Excellent work and nifty website. I have some little suggestions however:
Words to Avoid (or Use with Care) Because They Are Loaded or Confusing
I also wanted to open some issues, but GitLab has blocked Iranians from accessing their website. I don’t know if it’s possible for you to move to Codeberg or something like that, but that would be appreciated. (Gitea is going federated too, by the way.)
Looks nice! Beautifully done site.
thanks :)

Thx for the post & feel free to elaborate. While we can’t please all, we are always open to constructive feedback. To be fair:
a) we’re a bunch of FOSS idealists. So no affiliate links, sponsorships, crypto-shadiness or any other bullshit on our website
b) we make it pretty clear none of those services is the panacea. We’re still convinced they’re better than Big Tech/GAFAM
c) we mention caveats/criticism where deemed necessary, e.g. Mozilla’s conflict of interest, Signal’s privacy flaws, etc.
d) we always mention a couple of alternatives, so that readers can pick & choose according to their needs
