I recently stumbled across a post in the c/Europe community (https://lemmy.world/post/24641691) that highlighted alternatives to software and infrastructure from Big Tech companies. This got me thinking - is there a similar resource available for Canadians, or would there be interest in creating one?

Hi, welcome to Lemmy! Glad you are here.

I don’t know of a compilation of resources for such a broad set of services. It would be good to have. Sometimes there are one or two mainstream Canadian alternatives to services but they are often owned by the largest Canadian companies. An example being Moneris and Interac for big fintech companies.

But if you do some research there are some that can be found in many categories. It would be helpful to have a spreadsheet or something!
