Framasoft

A non-profit association founded in 2004, …

Framasphère (diaspora*)

Long ago I was a member of https://framasphere.org/, which no longer exists. The original address redirects to https://alt.framasoft.org/framasphere and then (for me) to a language-specific version of the page. In both languages:

• https://alt.framasoft.org/en/framasphere
• https://alt.framasoft.org/fr/framasphere/

I made a place for myself at diaspora.psyco.fr in 2025, but rarely used it: Graham Perrin.

As far as I can tell, from my browsing history in Firefox, I was refused access in July 2025 – "Accès refusé / Identification requise".

Framapiaf

I can not log in (I am not a registered user), and https://framapiaf.org/about explains that registration is closed ("Les inscriptions sont fermées").

Exactly!

Its goal is to reduce GAFAM's dominance (particularly: Google)

It "launch" another excellente/amazing/terrible initiative named "Les Chatons" (real FR term, translated too in EN) :

CHATONS – kittens in french – is the Collective of Hosters Alternative, Transparent, Open, Neutral and Solidarity. This collective aims to bring together structures offering free, ethical and decentralised online services in order to allow users to quickly find alternatives that respect their data and privacy to the services offered by GAFAM (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft). CHATONS is a collective initiated by the association Framasoft in 2016 following the success of its campaign De-google-ify Internet.
