Regardless of the outcome of today's election in the USA, the fact that it's so close should be a reminder of our dependence on the US tech companies and legislation.
Promote and use European alternatives and if you are from the US go vote!

@european_alternatives The fact that it is so close is a terrible reflection on Americans.

@european_alternatives you want to list @team under a few categories, they are missing under domain name registrars at least but do that nicely as well.

@european_alternatives, It's a good time to get talented engineers and scientistits from the USA. Don't miss it!

@european_alternatives you are missing #Mojeek in the search engine category.

@ecksearoh We currently don't list UK companies, but we might reconsider that in the future or make an exception for Mojeek.

@european_alternatives isn't the UK geographically in the EU? Or do you not list them because they are part of Five Eyes?

@ecksearoh @european_alternatives we are in Europe, not the EU; I would recommend the website reflect the "Union" part (or add us as suggested above) for clarity's sake.

@Mojeek @ecksearoh European Alternatives lists products from non-EU countries as well, like f.e. Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland. This is clearly stated in our About page:

@european_alternatives @ecksearoh fair enough, I guess the title I find confusing as the UK is in Europe, ergo Mojeek is a European company

@Mojeek @ecksearoh Sure I get that this is a bit confusing, but "Alternatives from European countries that want to be in a strong political and economic relation with most other European countries" was too long, so I had to compromise.

@european_alternatives @Mojeek @ecksearoh I guess you could always add a category for European alternatives that, while not in the EU/EEA/EFTA/DCFTA, respect EU values, norms and standards.
In fact, having your company in, say, Luxembourg, does not automatically make your company ethical, and some British companies (like Mojeek) are still ethical even if they are not in the EU.
Brexit was already sad enough. Let's at least try to make it a little less bad for people who try to do things right.

@european_alternatives is there any european alternative to Wordpress/Squarespace/Github pages ? Most of the major players are US based and I don't want to use them anymore. I just want to host my portfolio (a static site). I know about github and vercel, but won't use those platforms after their founders/CEOs endorsed a particular person

@kjv There is currently no category for static page hosters like Vercel or GitHub pages on European Alternatives, but we're working on it.
I, the founder of EA, am actually currently building a static page hoster called FastFront, since we were not happy with the existing services. We plan to release the first version next month.
You can check it out and sign up for the newsletter here:

@kjv If you need a service now there is also StaticHost that I currently know of:

@european_alternatives Hi! We noticed Runbox isn’t on your list of European email providers. We are based in Norway (EEA), GDPR-compliant, and our servers run on 100% renewable energy. You can check us out here: https://runbox.com. Thanks for considering adding us.

@european_alternatives You can add services provided by @murena , from France (I think servers are located in Finland.
/e/OS, E-mail, a cloud workspace, and so on. Even a metasearch engine forked from Searxng: spot.
