@Tutanota once again I ask that names be included with logos when showing alternatives.
@Tutanota I currently use:
- @nextcloud for #file #storage
- #Posteo for e-mail
- @joplinapp@mastodon.social @joplinapp@sopuli.xyz, @zettlr, and #paper for #notes
- #Everdo for to-do lists (although I've suspected for a while that #GTD isn't all it's cracked up to be and am looking for a better alternative)
- @libreoffice and occasionally in-browser Nextcloud for #office software
- I avoid #AI most of the time for personal use, making an exception when I have to correspond with the #bureaucracy. Although tbh even this use of AI makes me uneasy.
#filestorage #cloudstorage #email #Nextcloud #Joplin #Zettlr #todo #todolist #todolists #LibreOffice #officesoftware
@Tutanota Is that the usual wana-be post or are you actually deliveing this time? (The last times you also made promises you were not able to keep)
@Tutanota Been running @nextcloud for all my "cloud" storage, calendaring, addressbook, notes with self-hosted mail for ages now. Obviously I don't use any so-called "AI" because I prefer to stay on the right side of history.
@Tutanota The only Microslop product I am currently stuck with is GitHub, and transitioning is really difficult, even though it has gone completely downhill. ForgeFed looks really promising, but it doesn't seem mature enough yet, and Codeberg has some limitations that I don't like. I am currently also working on getting rid of Android before 2027, January 1st, but I can't fully get rid of YouTube, as it is too much of a content silo. Sure, PeerTube exists, but there aren't enough videos on it yet to replace YouTube, unfortunately. I have been gradually replacing it with the Internet Archive, but it isn't as effective.
Also, as many pointed out, the logos are really hard to tell in this picture, as the trend is for everything to look almost identical to its competitor, and without context, or some text, I can't tell what 4, 5, and 6 are on the last row (I assume 2 and 3 are Tuta software) sadly, I know what every other logo is for, even without text.
@Tutanota switch away from big tech using our free step by step online courses:

We are the Rebel Tech Alliance.
@Tutanota well around here dissing the first row is considered blasphemy by many. Second row they will shit on all day long and third one begrudgingly. Then the last row, if you guys step a mm off their perceived enlightened path, they will immediately take up pitchforks.
@Tutanota name the alternatives,please
@laxsill We're sorry about this, we will remember this for next time.
@Tutanota
I'm still looking for a web-based calendar that supports invitations and comes with an Android app... I'm open to paying for it
@Tutanota Hey, Tutanota works very well but I would like to use an alias.
@trilosapiens Hey! We offer alias email addresses in any of our paid plans. 😊
A notes solution for those who prefer local markdown files is @HelixNotes 🗒️
@Tutanota Extremely unhelpful graphic, wow.
