There are a few Canada specific Social Media platforms coming up as well. EH Social and Monnett.Social are topping the list.
I hope this can help you or others make the switch to support a local business 💪
Is Kobo and Ratukan Kobo two separate companies. Otherwise it is Japanese owned I think ?
The website explains it better - https://ca.purchasewithpurpose.io/
They are owned by a Japanese company, but are headquartered in Canada. So helps with employment.
What are people using as a 2FA app, Google authenticator doesn’t require an account for now but I obviously want out. I wnat it to be fully local and not tied to a password manager.
You can give Ente Auth a go OR Aegis
most password managers integrate 2FA
From experience, 1Password does it perfectly and Proton Pass got ot recently-ish and it’s working great
I don’t want to store my passwords in the same place I store my 2FA codes, so in the case where my password manager is breached I’m hopefully not completely pwned. I also do not want them to have any sort of syncing (that’s why we have those 1 off emergency codes). I tried Ente from another comment and that meets my needs.
Amazing stuff, thank you!
Some other things I’ve learned:
- Qobuz has some Canadian collaboration: https://www.quebecor.com/en/-/qobuz-la-plateforme-de-musique-de-haute-qualit-c3-a9-bient-c3-b4t-disponible-au-canada
- worktree.ca: “An end-to-end Git, DevOps, and Cloud platform. Create Git repositories to store and collaborate on source code, build and test with Actions workflows, and deploy to Worktree Cloud.”
Fediverse specific:
- Canadian based / hosted Fediverse instances: https://madeincanada.social/
- Canadian based instances: https://thesocialweb.ca/
the lack of Brave in your browser recommendations makes me question the motivation behind your other recommendations
I think you replied to me instead of the post itself
Brave is listed on their website, and maybe it wasn’t included in this shortlist because it’s US based and has had a number of controversies
