Looking to step away from spyware such as Discord, Telegram, Whatsapp, & Gmail? There's many applications which are bad because they monitor you & share their collection of data with other companies. Open source applications allow the public to inspect a application's code & anyone can verify it does exactly what it's intended to do.
You can email without a provider collecting the contents of the email, you can instant message without a service provider logging messages & you can share directly with someone using peer to peer technology. Below is a list of alternatives you can look into to replace any proprietary services you may use.
