First post!
Taking my first steps towards removing Google (and other general proprietary snooping crap) from my life,.
Deleting my long-unused Windows partition was a breath of fresh air, similar to deleting my Facebook account, and now I'm seriously considering replacing my Pixel 3 with a Librem 5.
Other changes so far:
Google -> DuckDuckGo
Gmail -> ProtonMail
Google Drive -> pCloud
Slack -> Mattermost
What kind of changes have you guys made?
I use Mega.nz for cloud storage. That's not FOSS obviously. I like it, but I don't hear it mentioned much in the privacy community, so I feel like I should look into my options again.
@apfelschorle @grahambae cloud -> nextcloud.

Have fun #gafamfree !
Self-hosting is best. But I don't have enough storage, so I chose Mega, since it seemed the most secure commercial solution.
But overall for me:
Gmail --> ProtonMail
Google --> DuckDuckGo
Google Drive --> Mega (I know)
LastPass --> KeePass
Chrome --> FireFox
Evernote --> Joplin
Waze --> OsmAnd (most painful switch)
It's also crazy how much longer your phone's battery lasts when you're not hemorrhaging personal data.
