Is the 50% off only for new users? I've just switched to Tuta a couple of weeks ago and subscribed for Revolutionary for 1 month :( .

I could've waited and got a year subscription instead.

I’m buying hardware so I can self-host my own services. That’s the only way to be truly sovereign.

Have started self-hosting a while ago! Both laptop and raspberry pi are Linux ( #fedora and #dietpi ) My main social media are #mastodon and #lemmy . Main search engine is a self-hosted #searxng . And most importantly, just paid for a 1 year Revolutionary membership for #TutaMail ;)

Becoming digital sovereign is more of a marathon than a sprint. I switched a lot of services in the last year. The next project is a google free smart phone.

ohhh pick me pick me! πŸ˜† switching to and/or using more decentralised p2p networking applications AND using local first LLM's (LM Studio) and local device applications like Obsidian, and connecting my agentic clients (hermes and open claw) to my local LLM's stored on my hard drive. Also, I don't send emails really anymore from free email accounts on gmail etc., I pay now for protonmail and tuta subs for my email communications and use these clients as my main send and receive accounts.

I run two physical proxmox nodes running multiple services (immich, Home Assistant, paperless-ngx, Vaultwarden, NextCloud...) All is secured via proxmox backup server. Furthermore I use GrapheneOS and Signal/Threema. And this was the easy part. More complicated is to convince my friends and families to use secure services. Thank you for helping in that respect! Appreciate your good and hard work, although I don't use Tuta yet!

Since March, I’ve been trying to switch to open-source software. It started with the Google search engine, then email, and so on. I hope that by the end of this year or early 2027, I’ll have managed to cut myself off from Google completely. I try to choose software that is based in Europe or has servers in Europe.

please do not use this nationalistic "sovereignty" language, I appreciate how you have aimed it at the individual here, but then you are appeasing the euro-nationalists with the flags and such.
Please, this risks just participating in another petty skirmish between abstract so called governments.
Please keep it to the individual level without flags.
Thank you

I cannot answer because I don't know what digital sovereignty means. Being independent from big tech, no matter which country. Being independent from US. Being everything self-hosted, I don't know.
"Sovereignty is generally defined as supreme, independent control and lawmaking authority over a territory. It is expressed through the power to rule and make law. Sovereignty entails hierarchy within a state as well as external autonomy, which refers to the ability of a state to act independently in international affairs."
If this is the case and I transfer it to my digital life, it means I own all my data and I am the only one who can control it. I have full autonomy over my own network data etc. That means it can never be achieved because I will never own voda or a telekom.

In the last year, I've done some major switching to become more digitally sovereign. I use Linux on my laptop; I have a home media server with Jellyfin and plan to utilize more self-hosted apps to gain more control over my data; I use tutanota with a custom domain; Signal is my primary texting application; Notesnook is my notes app; I've switched from Google Photos to Ente; Waterfox is my main browser; I use LibreOffice at home AND at work; and I'm currently using Filen as a cloud-based drive solution. Hoping to switch to Tuta Drive when it becomes available! As a parent, I want to gain even more control over my data and be able to teach my son how to navigate a digital world with systems already in place. That way, he won't have to "make a switch" after he's already been on the internet for most of his life.

Using a small local hosting company for mail and hosting note-taking, websites and BaΓ―kal for calendar and contacts.
My main social network is Mastodon - and that is really part of the solution.
Of course, I do not need to win anything. I already have a Tuta subscription I am not afraid to pay for.

Thank you for promoting EU πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί sovereign products. From your lists, I learned several good alternative. I also advise my friends to search for an existing product before jump to a well-known US brand, because there is most probably a good European product, which they just do not know yet! From this list, I have been missing Tuta Drive 😜

next to the usual methods of hosting services I use myself and relying more on European service providers in my personal life, I am also integrating the concept of digital sovereignty in my work as a Cloud Architect and try to point out alternatives to US big tech where it is possible.

And as this topic needs more attention I am raising awareness within my friends and peer group to support broader adoption.

I’ve been gradually reducing my reliance on many Big Tech services for the last year β€” and in most cases I’ve been able to replace them with #OpenSource and/or European alternatives.

I’ve also signed a citizens’ initiative here in Finland that seeks to enshrine #DigitalSovereignty into law.

for me the journey of digital souverenity and privacy has been one of building myself a small home server to self-host services like paperless and Nextcloud, generally reducing my digital footprint, starting to use linux and using privacy respecting European services.
The way of leaving US based products which sell your private data is quite a change but it just feels wrong to know that my data is beeing used to be sold on advertising markets.
