      I wish there was a good alternative to YouTube. I’ve been meaning to host a Peertube instance but that process is really not as straightforward as it should be if they want the platform to gain widespread adoption

      Google Maps has pretty decent alternatives though:

      • For simply browsing the map I use OpenStreetMaps on desktop, and Organic Maps on mobile.
      • For navigation (by car) I used to use Waze (which is also owned by Google), but I’ve switched back to good ol’ TomTom

      As for iPhone… personally I have a Google Pixel which I’m going to keep using till I can’t anymore. After that I’m probably switching to Fairphone. They’re a European company and their phones are right up my alley
