I pay for kagi.com - privacy and a good search engine ... what a concept tho it's more of a "search aggregator".
I also pay for Proton for mail (anything that requires a credit card or bank account) mostly, tosser e-mails and vpn once in awhile as I have a gmail account strictly for Chrome/YouTube and an old yahoo account of spam control. Other than that it's mostly open source - ZorinOS, Bitwarden, KeePassXC (encrypted vault mode), Ublock Origins, Liberwolf, LiberOffice, etc.
You will never see an encrypted Discord not because it can't be done right this moment but because that is not what the company is doing. I don't think Discord is what you think it is.
As for /Privacy, it's mostly children and idiots flailing in the wind. They want the idea of privacy but not the work or limitations of it. An easy example is how they ban any mention of GrapheneOS or LinageOS both the only sane option to pick for a pixel phone (I run Graphene on my Pixel 8 Pro).
It's been good but I'm a network eng with experience dating back to pre Free/Net BSD so mileage will probably vary.
Sand-boxing browsers, apps and more importantly hidden telco apps is a bit harder than most pretend but once you get it and how to not need the Play Store it's pretty easy.

I didn't even know it was THAT bad there. I only skim but that's even worse than I thought. How's your experience with Graphene been?
