Many times, when talking to people the topic comes up that certain platforms are not secure. However, those same people do not decide to take the step of leaving them because they do not know about alternatives. So, we asked if anyone knows of safer alternatives to:
facebook
Twitter
Insta
Tiktok
Whatsapp
Servicios de G, hotm e yahoo.

If you want to read Twitter profiles without logging in, use Nitter instance. Same goes with Invidious instances to bypass YouTube blocks. You can even run instances of these software on your own VPS, publicly or privately.
For some reason I can't add to my previous post, but here:
For a social media presence, I'd recommend something like the Fediverse (ActivityPub, etc) - it's a cross between email and Twitter. Each operator has their own server - with registration either open to the public, or private for yourself and friends - but you can communicate with users on other servers and they can communicate with you.

seeing that Facebook = Instagram = Whatsapp = Meta, getting rid of anything that's been ZUCKED is a good start.
Signal or Session for messaging, Nitter for a twitter alternative (or Mastodon)
Invidious instances for youtube
Fuel and fire for tiktok, there's already plenty of porn on the internet beeg.com

Thanks for answers.
Main idea is having services alternative. So, when people say something like "is difficult change because no have any option" will could be share the list. For example: Mastodon.
Maybe, will useful to make a table with different alternative for each service.
