I feel like #degoogle seems to embody a greater movement to leave bigtech. Here are the crazy things I've done over the last month or so.
- Installed Arch on my laptop about a month ago
- re-engaged my Mastodon and Bluesky while deleting Twitter and unfriending everyone on Facebook
- Installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel
- Moved email to custom domain and Tuta from Gmail
- Moved to NextCloud in place of Google Drive
- Moved photos from Google Photos to Ente Photos
- Moved my PKM and Notes to Logseq
- Moved from Chome and Google Search to Firefox, Tor and DuckDuckGo
- Just deleted Reddit and started a Lemmy account.
It's been a ride and I'm open to other suggestions and guides.
Congratulation! familiar list. The workload was quite surprising, wasn't it? How many google/gmail logins you had to change? Youtube to freetube? Or how you going with that?
To me META was quite hard to cut off because there is not really alternative to whatsapp. However META is probably the most toxic from those 5 so it felt best.
