Man, it’s annoying what characters like Mao and Stalin (as well as America) have done to those words.
I’d say that your best bet is FreeTube, which got ported to Android back in 2020. I’ve only been using it for a few weeks, since I only got ahold of an Android device this month, but it has never let me down.
It’s available on the IzzyOnDroid repo, and as an APK, so you can install it with F-Droid or Obtainium (or manually).
I feel like I should write a report on satirical news sources becoming accurate. I’d be willing to bet that they are - completely by accident - more factual than, say, the Daily Mail or Fox News.
Remember, of course, that Wickr has been owned by Amazon since 2021.

POV: you actually listened when that guy told everyone on Lemmy.ml to move to Lemmygrad a few years back
MSCHF made a device called an Alexagate, which jams the microphones using ultrasound and is turned on and off by clapping.
It’s a bit expensive, though ($100).
Otherwise, as you mentioned, you can use DNS to block the tracking. NextDNS has a built-in blocklist specifically for Alexa.
Odysee uses LBRY as a backend to deliver videos. Librarian, meanwhile, is a privacy-respecting frontend for LBRY; like Invidious.
Use Librarian instead, if you must.
I was drunk and tired.
I thought the Onion was meant to be satire…
I know it’s basic. It’s been a while since I last made a meme.
Well, I often just do a bank transfer or card payment. I’ve tried to use Monero, but I’ve had trouble getting ahold of any crypto without selling my soul to Guardarian.
I have a few machines, which run:
Some distros I tried but did not like were Pop!_OS, Slackware, Zenwalk, Freespire, Redcore, Fedora Atomic, ArchBang, and antiX.
Sone distros I’d like to try are Qubes OS, Clear Linux, CRUX, Kwort, Paldo, Exherbo, NuTyX, T2, Chimera, Adélie, Frugalware (no new ISOs since 2016, but the packages are still updated), Dragora, Parabola, Hyperbola, PLD, KANOTIX, Calculate, ALT, ROSA, and AUSTRUMI.
The reasons I have not yet tried these are mostly down to my limited hardware and the complexity of some of the distros. With others, it’s often down to WiFi drivers not existing for my proprietary cards. And then there are also a couple of distros from Russia, which I feel I can’t trust at the moment.
It’s an old program that converts between .deb (Debian), .rpm (RedHat), .tgz (Slackware), .slp (Stampede), .pkg (Solaris), and LSB packages.
I don’t use it much, but it can be handy in a pinch for installing software that isn’t packaged for your distribution. Just don’t use it for anything low-level or that’s already packaged natively, or you’ll break stuff.
You could try running the .deb through alien(1p)
, although it can be hit-and-miss if the package has a lot of scripts or dependencies.
A user by the name of electro1 has just told me that apparently it now contains trackers. I had no idea. Sorry.

I’ll keep an eye out to see if anything else turns up that’s FOSS, but doesn’t spy.
Wait, WHAT‽
You could give ONLYOFFICE a try. It defaults to Office Open XML formats, but it can read and edit OpenDocument files just fine.
EDIT: electro1 has just told me that ONLYOFFICE has trackers. One look on Exodus and, sure enough, they’re right. Sorry!
I think I probably meant usable. Essentially, the last time I tried it, software like LibreOffice wouldn’t run and I had a few minor issues with web browsing.
It’s probably been fixed, come to think of it. Maybe I’ll give it another go.
