Social Networks

Instagram

Don't use instagram (or at least the official client). Instagram is a very privacy-invasive app with biased results and feeds based on user profiles, it is also used as a manipulation tool and has a lot of censorship going against free speech. Lastly, it has an addictive and toxic ui-design.

Instead Use:

  • Pixelfed - Decentralized, federated and Open Source alternative to Instagram with posts, videos, stories, tags, etc.
  • Barinsta - The beautiful, open source, and privacy-friendly alternative Instagram client for Android.

Youtube

Don't use YouTube (or at least the official client). Youtube is very privacy invasive, it generates a very accurate profile based on your interests. Also it is a radicalization tool which shows biased content to users in order to get more engadgement and to get them to watch more and more content creating an adiction. It never shows you alternative opinions to your ideology/bias. Youtube censors a lot. Youtube collects a LOT of your data: interesnts, free time, ideology, likes, dislikes, music taste, etc...

Instead Use:

  • Peertube - A free, open and decentralized alternative to video platforms.
  • LBRY - LBRY is a secure, open, and community-run digital marketplace. Enjoy the latest content from your favorite creators - as a user, not a product.

Privacy respecting Youtube clients:

  • Yotter - Youtube and Twitter with privacy. Never share any of your data to Youtube, yet be able to watch Youtube videos.
  • Invidious - Alternative and privacy respecting Youtube frontend.
  • NewPipe - Alternative android Youtube app. No account needed, privacy respecting. Shares IP with Youtube

Worth mentioning:

  • Piped - Work in progress.
