Is there any sort of commonly used alternative to Google Maps reviews out there? I've written a lot of reviews over there (mainly cafes, campsites and bike shops) - I do want to leave them up because they're all places I want to support and bring business to, but is there anywhere better I could be copying them to?

Hi, I am Søren (the "ø" is pronounced like the "ea" in "Earth"), a guy from Denmark. I am trying out the #fediverse to see what it is all about and support it with a bit of content.
I post about #Lego and #EuropeanAlternatives (and #DanmarkSkifter in Danish), but as a person who goes through hobbies like people go through.. stuff they change often.. that is bound to change down the road. In tha last year I have been around sewing, macramé, 3d printing, and a few others.

The story starts many years ago on the eve of the new millennium. With an internet friend I started an internet forum using his dads university network access.
As most sites then it was themed to discuss a mutual special interest. Let’s say it was about ducks. The software we used came in English but the language we used was Dutch.
For weeks not much happened but then I logged in and saw we were at 75 users. Turns out people on some other forum felt left out and found our place. Fun.

EN: I'd love to be part of a Danish / European group doing cooperative self-hosting for key online stuff:
- email
- notes
- calendar
Optionally:
- document cloud with text editor / spreadsheet collaboration tools
- small public facing website space (to run a blog, share some html pages. I wouldn't even need PHP or something)
I clearly (https://mastodon.online/@Pepijn/115963117610569220) shouldn't be in charge of the technical stuff but am happy to participate otherwise.
Any suggestions?
Hallo Gemeinde,
ich möchte mich gern zunehmend von Google zurück ziehen, Stück für Stück. Ein Projekt soll dieses Jahr v.a. die Bilder/Foto Sammlung werden. Ich muss gestehen, dass es schon sehr komfortabel ist, dass ich die Bilder in der Cloud habe und von sämtlichen Endgeräten zugreifen kann, gleich wenn ich die Bilder gemacht habe.
Ähnliches macht ja @ente .
Wie habt ihr das gelöst? #nextcloud bei Cloud-Anbieter wäre auch was, habe aber gehört, dass das manchmal harkt und langsam ist. Eine Funktionserweiterung mit Kalender etc. wäre natürlich praktisch.
Was haltet ihr von @wetell mit ihrem #wetellhub , welches noch in
Crowdfunding ist? https://www.startnext.com/wetell-hub
As suggested by @daanrademaker, @petrescatraian, and @thomas I tryed out both @Zeitkapsel and @pixelunion as options for my photo backup.
Zeitkapsl looks and works good, but it lacks the ability to cast to my TV and is a bit too expensive for me.
Pixelunion is really good, have decent editing capabilities and I would happily recommend it to others, but the lack of a family plan makes it unsuitable for my needs.
So @jottacloud is still my top contender.

I 2025 talte nogle her om at oprette en dansk (eller regional) IT-tjeneste i kooperativstil, der kunne levere e-mail, noter og kalender.
Derudover måske simple, samarbejdsbaserede tekstredigeringsværktøjer, file storage og et sted til en lille offentlig website.
Er det stadig noget, folk tænker på? Eller måske er det der, og jeg har overset det? 🙂

It’s far overdue, but my #diday resolution this year is to completely divest from US tech.
Feels rather like my responsibility as an 🇺🇸 expat firmly planted in 🇪🇺.
It feels like an enormous task, as I feel helplessly bound to past tech decisions, but I hope breaking into small steps:
Software:
✅ Gmail -> Posteo
✅ Safari -> Firefox
MacOS/Windows -> Linux
Hardware:
iPhone -> Fairphone
MacBook -> ??

Woah, that was waaaay easier than I thought it would be. Despite being (happily) rather tech-ignorant, it only took about a week of occasional tinkering to transfer all of my US tech dependencies to #opensource and #europeanalternatives.
Unfortunately, though, my largest tech footprint remains work (a 🇩🇪 federal research institute). Outside of some pretty terrible SAP systems, we are entirely reliant on #USTech. That's the case even for low hanging fruit like team organization, office products, and social media outreach.

Jännä.
Jotenkin kovin innoissani selailen nyt eurooppalaisia vaihtoehtoja Googlelle ja amerikkalaisille tuotteille: selaimeksi Ecosia tai Vivaldi, sähköpostiksi Proton Mail, seuraavaksi luuriksi Fairphone, someiksi Mastodon ja Pixelfed jne...
Tää tuntuu jotenkin aivan uudelle alulle. Ehkä vielä läppäristä vaihtais Windowsinkin Linuxiin...
Elämän pienet jännittävät hetket 😀
