#Mastodon, what is the first thing I should do to start moving away from Big Tech?

#bigtech #online #privacy #rights #digitalsovereignty

@bodhipaine make a plan, i tell you what i am doing:

1. Write your main accounts on Big tech, and think about the importance/ critical for you Daily basis
2. Export your user-passwords from web browsers you use and make the same on 1
3. Choose a private and E2ECC service i recommend proton.me with a mail and download protón mail, proton pass and autenticathor
4. Now you must log in in each web service and deleting account if It is not critical for you and if its critical change the mail for an alias on protón pass
5. Always use a VPN, protón VPN its mine
6. Look for alternativas for each service from bigtech
Social - fediverse
News - feedly with the feeds you want

List of some bigtech and my alternatives:
- Google - mail, Drive, autenticathor, calendar - proton
- Chrome - Brave or Vivaldi
- YouTube - peertube
- meta ( Facebook - insta) - fediverse pixelfed, mastodon
- reddit - fediverse lemmy
- tiktok - fediverse loops
- AI ( openai, anthropic etc) - Lumo proton
- And of course for pc/laptop OpenSource - mine Pop_os, with OpenSource tools

Hope i helped you, and sorry 🙏🏻for my english

@wildperal This is very helpful, thank you! Your approach is very thorough, and from your list I see where I am already on track to make the move (Proton, Vivaldi, Mastodon), and where I need to put some energy (PeerTube mostly). Thank you for being so detailed!
