Is there an American version of this? Or a politically agnostic version?
-
What is not politically agnostic? I'm American and the list matches my own almost.
Only differences are that I am stuck with Android because Verizon, I have Element but no connections on it, firefox instead of librewolf (bc lazy), arch-based instead of arch and I don't use/need immich and home assistant.

Start with a Signal and Discord bridge, they are very stable. Later perhaps you can get WhatsApp and Telegram working. I know it doesn't bring the other people over, but it's very convenient to have them in one app on your side.

I use Signal almost exclusively. The rest of those I don't trust which doesn't really matter to me because I don't know anyone who uses them anyways.

The EU flag in the title suggests that they are not looking for alternatives to Big Tech dependence but anything made in America. I am not trying to avoid American tech specifically.

My condolences for being stuck with Verizon. Learned the hard way that any phone originally from their network can't have its bootloader unlocked, even if the manufacturer otherwise supports it.
-
Yeah I had heard about that with some phones so I asked specifically for an unlockable phone, unlockable from verizon and from android and the rep assured me it was, blatantly lying. I'm poor sadly and rely on my moms family plan so i really had no choice in the end.

This is about as politically agnostic as it gets. I don't care for some of the eurocentrism I've seen in the ongoing conversation, but it arises from concerns that other western countries are experiencing following their reliance on the increasingly-unstable american empire.
