Goals for 2026:

☐ DeGoogle

☐ DeMeta

☐ DeMicrosoft

Can you tick any off the list? 😎

@Tutanota I only have deGoogle left, slowly pulling away.
@Lightfighter Well done!💪🏼
@Lightfighter @Tutanota Me too. I've never had a Facebook or Instagram account, and my desktop computer now runs Linux. But I still have 3 Android devices. I'm looking forward to getting devices with factory-loaded GrapheneOS.
@dedicto @Tutanota I've been testing GrapheneOS on an old Pixel. Just need to make sure I can do everything I need. I've been deep in the Google world since very early on, so it's taking a bit to extract myself.

@Lightfighter @Tutanota

Once I got a degoogled androod phone (I use e/os) it was easy! Hang in there and keep chipping away. It's worth it!

@IT_SME @Lightfighter @Tutanota what phone are you using/recommend for /e/os?

@someone123456789 @Lightfighter @Tutanota

Pixel 8

I intentionally purchased it used because I didn't want to give Google any of my money.

I chose the Pixel 8 because it is a viable option for Graphene OS and a few of the Linux OSs. I like to have options, but after putting eOS on I haven't looked back.

@IT_SME @someone123456789 @Lightfighter @Tutanota You are saying eOS was a better choice than GrapheneOS?

@brainsuxx666 @someone123456789 @Lightfighter @Tutanota

Not at all. I'm saying I was so satisfied with eOS that I never moved on from it to try GrapheneOS.

I've heard nothing but great things about GrapheneOS. I think it's more security-focused, while eOS is more privacy-focused.

@IT_SME @brainsuxx666 @someone123456789 @Tutanota Everyone has a different threat model, so having options is a good thing.
@Tutanota I'm on my way — but some work remains
@elytres It's a journey! Well done.
@Tutanota
No Meta.
No Microsoft (but also no LinkedIn).
still have an Android though.
@scuti @Tutanota oh! I did not realise ! Will deLinkedin in a minute. Thanks for the info.

@Tutanota

Still fighting!!

@Roquette Nice, keep it up! 😄
@Tutanota I’ve already managed to go DeMeta and DeMicrosoft thanks to Linux and XMPP.
The goal for 2026 is to go DeGoogle.
@Tutanota Only my work laptop is running on Microslop. So, I do not have any impact on this, unfourtunately.
@adipoeserPursch @Tutanota Work laptop is not my laptop. I don't have control over it. When I have to connect it to my home WiFi I give it the guest subnet, so it can only go to the outer internet and connect to its work VPN. I don't consider that whole setup as my own.
@jdoe Exactly what I meant. @Tutanota

@Tutanota

I’d be completely off of all of this stuff were it not for the fact that other entities I deal with are not. For example, I signed up for a history course on Coursera; they serve the readings as Google Docs. Also, a charity organization I work with does their primary reporting on financial receipts and expenditures via FB. It’s not a good time to try to help them transition. I do as much as I can to get off the tech oligarch platforms, but in the end, I have to meet people where they are. It’s a process.

@Tutanota

- Fully DeMeta

- Partially DeGoogle
- - Required to use G Services for school unfortunately
- - and Android

- Mostly DeMicrosoft
- - with the exception of LinkedIn

@Tutanota all done years ago 😎
@Tutanota
DeGoogle done
DeMeta never done it 
DeMicrosoft ..in work..50% done
@Tutanota Add "DeApple" there as well :)
@Tutanota Almost all of them, I just use Windows for After Effects
@Tutanota I just uninstalled 2 more system apps from my android phone 😁
@Tutanota
I tick all the boxes since 2025 😁👍
@Tutanota getting rid of Meta - WhatsApp- is tricky
@Tutanota google 50℅
Microsoft in progresa
Meta off
@Tutanota
Bis auf Google Maps, habe ich alles geschafft.
Evtl. schaff ich das mit Mapy.com
@Tutanota been there done that, give me more targets

@Tutanota
- Meta: Clean ✅️

- Microsoft: Clean ✅️

- Google: Traces ☑️

@Tutanota DeMeta was easy because I was never on them. But the other two are difficult for practical reasons 😞
@Tutanota Microsoft gone. Meta (still on instagram but FB gone). Google: working on it step by step!
@Tutanota haven't had a Meta account in years. Microslop in even longer. Degoogled last summer. De-Protoned a couple months back as well.
@Tutanota All completed in 2023.
@mirano Amazing! Well done. :)

@Tutanota

One in Progress
Two done
Three, starting soon.

@Tutanota Got that mostly pinned down, tho still using google maps and youtube.

Also I must admit I really like c#, though I'm using mono.

@Tutanota recently un-ticked the last one after going from gaming->less gaming on linux->no gaming on freebsd->a single isolated win11 enterprise iot ltsc machine for gaming
@Tutanota No more Meta, no more Microslop and would say Google about 92%, wish more devs would provide their stuff over F-Droid so I would not need the Playstore on my GrapheneOS install.
@Tutanota How can I tick all of them?
@Tutanota
All Meta accounts downloaded and deleted. Dual booting Linux / Windows as I transition fully to Linux. Google is the big battle just getting started. Samsung picked a bad time to force me to use Google Messages for my texting.
@Tutanota I need a tutorial about how I can do all of this!
@Tutanota Sadly, no. Already done all of that the years before :(
@Tutanota
I am already out of Meta and out of Microsoft for my personal stuff.

@Tutanota

DeMicro$oft loooong ago...
DeGoogle 99.5%...

Never was on Meta or any of it's offspring.

Looking to DeAndroid next phone purchase.

@Tutanota Every single one of them.

@Tutanota De Meta is hard

problem is to convince your loved ones to move out of whatsapp - then they convince other 20

which is next to impossible

@parikhparth23 Are you failing to get them to switch outright or just to install an app alongside WhatsApp?
@mousepotato they can install the app but force them to use

@Tutanota de google is hard as well

No one can replace google maps when its urgent
