10 years ago the French association Framasoft announced the creation of Degoogling the Internet. To do this, it presented a series of concrete and free-to-use solutions alternative instead of Big Tech services.
Over the years, the CHATONS collective, strongly supported by Framasoft, which includes a series of associations offering free, ethical and decentralized online services.

In the meantime some services have been abandoned and closed for various reasons but others have been announced:
- Framaspace it is a cloud space managed thanks to Nextcloud and dedicated exclusively to collectives, associations and unions and it is not possible to open an account as a private individual.
- Framagroupes, for creating discussion groups via email
- Framacarte who follows the project uMap for an excellent one alternative to Google My Maps. In fact, it is possible to create and manage customized maps using OpenStreetMap.
There have then been many updates on FramaPad and the mythical Mobilizon, a free and federated alternative to Facebook events always developed by them.
What are they working on
In the next few months we should see the realization of Framapetics for creating online petitions. They are also working on aalternative to Tricount, an application for sharing and managing expenses, taking advantage of the free application I Hate Money. In Italy Tricount it is probably not very well known while we use it more often Splitwise.
They are also starting to offer a server Draw.io for creating flowcharts and also Excalidraw for creating simple diagrams.
They also recently offer their own server Stirling PDF for managing and editing PDFs online.
