A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

MODERATORS
There's actually a surprising amount of poll makers that are out there, so there's a lotta choice.
The following satisfy these requirements in no particular order:
I've left costs out of the equation, since if there's no tracking (and thus no ad revenue), a form must be financed in a different way, be it through a price, non-profit institutions, restrictions on forms such as how long it can stay up, amount of questions/forms, etc.
Furthermore, I'm only going to list max. 1 per country and not stuff from cooperations that already are popular for other reasons. This is because I don't want to foster vendor- or country-lock-in dependence. So no Nextcloud (even though it's pretty good).
LimeSurvey ๐ฉ๐ช - what I've used. Pretty satisfied with it, has an intuitive form maker. It's pretty no-nonsense. Freemium, open-source. Can be self-hosted, on Linux.
CryptPad ๐ซ๐ท - also nice; can be self-hosted too. Freemium, open source (AGPL-3.0).
SurveyJS ๐ช๐ช - lets you use JavaScript to build forms. Freemium and self-hostable, MIT open source.
Vue Flow Form ๐ญ๐ท - has a pretty modern design, can be integrated on websites or apps. Free and self-hostable, MIT open source.
Zeroform ๐ฆ๐น - static and dynamic, not much to say. Forms can be exported as CSV, textfile, and JSON. For Linux too, self-hostable, free and open-source (AGPL-3.0).
PHP FormBuilder ๐ง๐ฌ - uses HTML. Free and open-source, self-hosted.
Which php formbuilder do you mean? There are dozens with this name ๐คฃ. Any chance you might share links to those projects?
Why specify self hosted ? If it's open-source, it necessarily can be self-hosted
