PeerTube

Friendly reminder that most social media platforms including YouTube are kind of terrible. Everyone should check out free, open source, open protocol, decentralized alternatives such as PeerTube (analogous to YouTube). There's also Mastodon (like Twitter), Friendica (like Facebook), PixelFed(like Instagram). Anyone can create a server for free, and all servers can talk to each other using a language clapped ActivityPub.

Searx

DuckDuckGo: I use it myself, but it's ultimately still a third party that you're just as dependent on as Google. I'd prefer an alternative that I actually own and control, but that's a tall order for now. Searx is sort of what I want, but I haven't delved into it much yet.

Signal: absolutely. 👍 Also check out Matrix which I think is a cooler technology but works kind of similarly.
