Finally an authority that stands up and no longer follows main stream and established behavior.
Trying not to be a sheep doesn't get much support or likes

Matomo is not like it used to be anymore

My 5cts for an alternative, I use bbclone a lot as it gives just enough in most cases

I was looking for a self-hosted analytics solution as GA is declared illegal by the CNIL in France. Looking again the module FathomAnalytics made by @Craig, I jumped on Fathom website to compare the lite and full version, quite interesting, but damn things can turn rudes...

I have a better feeling with Go language and the features / compliance of Fathom is for sure better for professionnal (yeah well that's their job), see here, less headhash once you are ready to pay and let them manage the cons. Thanks for sharing pwired.

Here's another alternative to add to the list that looks pretty interesting:

Not being charged for pageviews might work for some of our larger clients and the dashboard looks like a happy medium between Fathom and Mamoto both of which we currently use.

We've managed to shift a few clients away from GA recently. In part because the shift to GA4 meant there was going to be some disruption anyway so they might as well switch to a more privacy friendly alternative.

Also interesting is that I found out about Cabin on Mastodon instead of Twitter .... that's probably a different thread tho.
