For cloud storage I’ve used pCloud for several years: https://www.pcloud.com

We also use Signal in my family and though that is American in IMO is independent enough.

I also use Proton Mail: https://proton.me/support/who-owns-protonmail

I think there is a myth developing about Blue Sky. To me it is another version of Twitter but without the right wing political elements. I went on there and then wondered why I was bothering. It's just as toxic and full of rants and raves. Okay, it may not be as toxic, but I doubt it will be too long.

The question I asked is whether it adds anything wholesome to my life. It doesn't. So i deleted it.

I set up an account to see if it’s any better. It feels like pre-2015 Twitter and I’m also not liking it much so far.

It feels like an echo chamber. As much as I agree with much of the sentiment, I just couldn't feel any point in it for me personally. But I do like the principle behind it's formation.

I try to use open source and not for profit services. So Mozilla Firefox, Thunderbird, BlueSky, odf word and spreadsheet software, haven't quite managed a migrate to Linux yet but considering Mint, Gimp or Canva for design. Signal and Telegram seem fine but a bit embedded with WhatsApp currently. Slowly slowly ...
