Any area of life? Digital services (browser, search engine, email, calendar, drive, productivity tools, social media, mobile phone, computer), food, clothes, e-commerce, music, movies and so on.

It's a lot to do at once, so take it one step at a time. Every little bit helps!

There's a handy list for beginners here: github.com/anitwek/alternative

And you can follow some hashtags here on Mastodon, that people use to share their stories about moving to alternatives: #EuropeanAlternatives #BuyFromEU #BuyEuropean #boycottUSA

And share your journey here on Mastodon to encourage others too! If you have any doubt, ask the community! 😀

#BuyFromEU - Vergessen wir mal #Amazon. Die zahlen hier eh zu wenig oder keine Steuern. Es gibt deutsche und europäische Alternativen. Sucht euch eine raus. Gibt nicht mehr alles an einem Ort, dafür unterstützt man die Ami-Faschos rund um #Trump bisserl weniger.

Wir sollten digital und ökonomisch europäisch denken.
#thepeoplesunitedeuropean

Europäische Unternehmen bevorzugen im digitalen z.B. #Fediverse, Waren von einheimischen Kleinunternehmen (Startups, nachhaltigen Unternehmen) oder unseren europäischen Nachbarn.

Eine Hilfe kann hier die App #buyfromeu sein, um sich umzustellen.

Am wichtigsten ist es im großen Stil WhatsApp und seine Plattformen (Meta) zu verlassen.

Auf diese Weise können wir wieder die Informationsmacht zurück gewinnen.

#Pixelfed and other #Fediverse platforms like #Mastodon were just mentioned on German television (ZDF) 🎉:

Trump and his new big tech autocracy: Trump, Musk & Co are trying to dismantle the state at high speed. A culture war has broken out. Is democracy in danger?

How dangerous is this and what can Europe do to counter it? Will the EU's democratic rules stand up to the superiority of US big tech?

All Europeans 🇪🇺

We have signed up to Quodari 🇧🇪 🇳🇱 , a social network created by a Belgian-Dutch startup, to give the new platform a try. 😀

It's still a bit of a work in progress👷 , but it's understandable. Some of the front-end elements aren't 100%, but we know that this kind of thing takes some time, a bit of trial and error, and more users joining the platform and giving feedback.

When you first connect, the whole thing is blank, which can feel a bit empty at first. 😬

On "Discover" 🧭 , you may start checking out people's profiles - most part of profiles are in Belgian-Dutch and at least the ones we saw were mostly empty.

We decided to replicate this account there, but to write public posts we would have to buy the premium version. We're holding off on that financial step for now. So for the moment, our posts are only available to people who add us as a contact. ➕

(The challenge with new social networks is that we have to force ourselves a bit to post and create content even when the platform looks empty. It was like that on Mastodon, right? :) So we're going to post on Quodari the same we do here and see what happens. 🌱)

So, if you're up for giving it a try:

Website: quodari.com/en

Our profile: public.quodari.com/public/prof

printscreen from Quodari edit post page. On the left: Quodari logo on top in green color. Menu with 4 entries: My memos, Collections, Discover and Feed. On the right: our avatar, "Notifications" button and "Add memo" button. Center: a popin with a post editor. There is the date, today, Thursday - 3 april 2025. Below the title form field: Welcome to All Europeans! Below the title, a field to choose in which collection you're going to save your post. Then the text editor, where we wrote: "We will post and boost content to encourage people to replace their non-EU products and services with European, #selfhosted or open source alternatives. Tag us if you want to recommend something! If you're a EU company, follow us and we'll follow you back and share your product with the community. Start buying European products to boycott bully countries and foreign monopolies. Or maybe you just want to boost the local economy? Buying European products has many benefits, including supporting local entrepreneurs, creating jobs, and increasing money circulation within your country or neighbour country. It's also more environmentally friendly! When the local economy is strong, everyone benefits." At the end, some buttons to add: photo, video, audio, document, location or checklist.

Feuerwear - Products from upcycled firehose made in Germany & Serbia

feddit.org/post/10190479

feddit.orgFeuerwear - Products from upcycled firehose made in Germany & Serbia - feddit.orgFeuerwear makes a series of bags and backpacks out of old firehose. I got one of their laptop bags since last year and I absolutely love it! They also offer a repair service and give a 3-year warranty on their products. As far as I can tell from their website, some steps of the production are done in Germany and some (mostly sewing) is done in Serbia. Referreral code warning I got a code that gives a 10€ reduction for new customers (and gives me the same if it’s used). I’m not sure if the code can be used repeatedly, so no guarantee that it works. ::: spoiler spoiler KYV-27EE-ARG :::
