SaidIt is an alternative to Reddit, as we all know. What other major sites have alternatives that might not be well known?

My focus besides just having another option, is censorship-resistance. These are still third parties, and their website could be taken down etc. But they seem to respect privacy and deserve trust:

Youtube alternatives:

d.tube - runs on top of steemit blockchain, content served over IPFS, storage paid for by part of steem rewards from upvotes
BitChute - Uses webtorrent to serve video content

Gmail alternatives

Protonmail - serious about privacy, integrated PGP is nice
Fastmail - serious about privacy, very flexible options if you own your own domain name

Chat programs

Keybase - not just secure chat, but file sharing, group chat, and lots more. Great user experience with PGP under the hood.

Censorship Resistance is especially needed for YouTube alternatives. We see what happens when such sites care more about advertisers than their content creators...
