3·1 month agoThanks, will look to see how best to add these. Might not be all though as I don’t want to overwhelm people with too many options.

2·1 month agoThe website might be more helpful to you, but it still doesn’t go into that level of granularity. This is meant more for those who aren’t too technical and want help getting started on this journey.

True… thanks for the correction - will fix that.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•I had enough of big tech and their actions, so created this guide to make switching as easy as possible
2·2 months agoThanks for the feedback! The website goes into this level of detail and includes some of those suggestions you had: https://purchasewithpurpose.io/
Hard to include all of this in the graphic alone, but will consider how it can be improved.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•I created a guide/website that helps beginners discover and switch to privacy-focused tools
2·2 months agoNo, but involved different communities when creating it and some people made the move only to be told about Brave’s CEO history, then regretted it. Added the note so people can be informed one way or the other. Also, the thread linked gives an excellent opportunity for someone to get both sides of some of their controversies that have been shared with Brendan directly addressing each one in the comments.

4·2 months agoThanks! Will take all this feedback on board. Can see how some of the wording is confusing. I am looking at slowly introducing more information on each tool (screenshots included). For now, I try to link people as to where they can get this e.g. privacyguides
I also didn’t know about the privacytools situation. Will absolutely look more into that.

2·2 months agoYup, an excellent option and it is listed on the site. https://purchasewithpurpose.io/category/office-suite/
It is worth noting the potential ties to Russia as that has been a deal breaker for some.

It is hard for me to be the arbiter of what tools are ethical enough, so I try to make these facts as easy as possible to find for people. In the end, it educates and ultimately most decide against using such tools (for example, Spotify). There is a note on Tidal’s profile about Jack Dorsey’s and Jay-Z’s involvement. https://purchasewithpurpose.io/software/34R8h9DOVPhaJ7CZMmKW48/

41·2 months agoPrivacyguides is an excellent resource, and in fact, it is often linked on the website. You might be interested in https://privacy.purchasewithpurpose.io/, which prioritises tools validated by them.
However, it isn’t meant to serve the same audience. PurchaseWithPurpose is there to make moving more digestible for the average user, while educating them on more advanced topics.


Yeah also did that for my recent site using StaticBuilder and Codeberg. Took longer but well worth supporting smaller businesses.
Btw, if people are passionate about this topic. There is a community and website on !purchasewithpurpose@lemmy.world .
