It's not FOSS though I think? Free and paid tier. Website doesn't say much about privacy etc. I actually have Lawnchair running silently and almost configured to mirror my Nova home screen but there doesn't seem to be folders in the app drawer which is a pain, unless I have totally missed it.

Edit: Indeed, I totally missed it, in the settings. FFS.

Excellent. Lawnchair it is then.

Libretube, smarttube and the like. You realise the amount of bloated shit there is on YT when you use one of those. They are like a front end on the infra I suppose. Not familiar with Loops, must go digging!

Yet the FOSS alts are still free. Hot damn.

eYou, you are simply too late to the party. As the piece highlights in the early paragraphs, its already being done by Mastodon and the Feds (the good Feds).

I just discovered Mastodon and the Feds (that should be the name of a band) and I'm utterly thrilled to have control of what I see. Its a breath of fresh air. I look forward to my feed every day. I know its not going to be full of bollocks about Trump and other toxic stuff. Its a game changer for me.

The future is FOSS and data sovereignty and I feel a little bit closer to it today that I ever have.
