It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you'd love alternatives for?

YouTube, and one technically exists in the form of PeerTube, with PlasmaTube being a good client for PeerTube.

YouTube really isn’t anything without the content and I’m not sure how open source will solve that.

In the case of PeerTube, not worrying about Google age-gating or straight-up yanking your content if you tick them off is a good start, basically, you'd actually own your content posting on PeerTube instead of YT.
