Framasoft is a French non-profit association that exists since 2004. They propose a lot of services for free with the objective of digital empowerment.
They have an action called “De-google-ify” the web and host a ton of open-source alternative to the main google services.
Examples :
- Framatalk: an instance of meet.jitsi
- Framaforms: which is yakforms (blog post) or the new beta version, which is based on liberaforms
- Sepia Search: a peertube search engine
- Peertube: yes, peertube is a Framasoft creation !
- And many more !
I really encourage you all to go and give a look at all their actions, donate or contribute to Framasoft, they are doing a lot of work making the internet a better place :)

Framasoft is the real deal, as mentioned in the post they are active for 20 years, I’ve been looking at their resources since ~2008 when first discovering free software. They are also very mindful of their own position, both hosting services for ease of use and creating guides to self host those. They have a whole initiative dedicated to encourage people to create small self hosted bunch of services.
I was really surprised when they didn’t launch a Lemmy instance
ha yep, well they already have a foothold in the fediverse with their mastodon instance
