Spotify? Is this a joke? Lol
What’s the reason they give mastodon the privacy badge, but don’t give it to lemmy or signal?
That’s what happens when you half ass your work.
I know many people feel entrapped by streaming services, but I switched to Bandcamp like 10 years ago and have never been happier with my music habits. I buy music I like on Bandcamp Friday and store it locally on my PC/phone. Load up and take away as needed.
Sure, it’s a bit more effort to purposefully seek new music, but I love that process. Makes it a very deliberate listening experience.
I though Orion was free to use?
It is.
Guessing OP marked it as paid thinking it was because Kagi search engine is paid. Same developers.
There’s also the free ksuite mail/drive as a free email alternative!
Spotify donates to Trump and is overall horrible.
Deezer is a French alternative to Spotify, it pays artists a little bit more. https://www.musictrendz.com/post/which-streaming-service-pays-artists-the-most
Qobuz is another French streaming service that pays one of the most in the industry

Access Industries has a 41.4% ownership of it. They also own Warner Music Group.
Also:
In 2015, the company donated $1.8 million to Super PACs supporting Republican presidential candidates Scott Walker and Lindsey Graham.[75]
Sad to learn they are majorly USA owned then. Their offices are still mainly in Paris and the data is processed in France. I have been using them back and forth for more than a decade. At the beginning, you could upload your own library (including copyrighted albums) and make it available for streaming to other people, it was a fun time.
And they unironically say to join them on reddit.
My guess is that it’s to reach the people on Reddit but not on anything else.
I have just changed from fastmail (Australian owned, but hosted in the US) to mailbox.org (German owned and hosted, as I understand it).
The reasoning is that I didn’t want my email provider to be reliant on a US hosting service. This graphic has fastmail as a preferred choice though, and doesn’t mention mailbox.org at all.
Spotify doesn’t belong in there at or or in the left being transitioned to another.
MASTODON
Of all the alternatives for gmail, why suggest another American solution? GMX (.com, .net, .de, .ch) has been around for 30 years, is fully German owned and hosted, and got both free and paid tiers just like mail.com.
probably not the right place to ask but I can never view posts like this in full resolution. Like I zoom in and it’s just blurry. Right now I’m using photon web front end to view the post on dbzer0.com
edit: oh this image is hosted on a third party image host. The image hosted on lemmy is just the thumbnail.
