You may also know of another France-based #deGoogle project that partners with Fairphone for USA sales.
It is decent enough with a good community, and *very similiar* to @iode@mastodon.online but iodé is different in that there is no forking of upstream included apps just to re-brand (with risk of always being behind on re-basing and maintaining), no custom launcher that is pretty but not the most functional, and system updates (esp. major version upgrades) are applied much more rapidly with iodé.

So here I am having dug deep into the #deGoogle world for sometime (including many Linux options: I have postmarketOS and Ubuntu Touch devices looking at me now, and alas my Pinephone sits on a shelf 🙂). I think there is growing demand in the USA for a #deGoogle / #deApple option, and from my POV @iode@mastodon.online is the way I fit with best and can see many others preferring should the alternatives I mentioned previously not be a good match for them. I have even become the community manager for iodé! 5/
