Linguist Gone Foreign 🌏5d ago

I'm very happy to see how my 3-year journey replacing big tech with privacy-oriented, humane platforms is shaping:

Gmail: Tuta and Proton

Google Calendar: Fossify

Google Maps: Organic Maps

Twitter: Mastodon

Facebook, Instagram: Pixelfed

WhatsApp, Telegram: Signal

Android: GrapheneOS

Windows: Linux Mint

It was overwhelming, it took time and research. But I can tell you that another digital experience is possible.

Now I'm thrilled to have devices that belong to ME, like in the old days.

@linguistgoneforeign It's hard work de-googling but so worth it, and I'm thrilled you mentioned Fossify - what a great project with so many privacy-respecting apps! Congrats on your journey!

Thank you! I'm very happy with Fossify synched across devices, it's color-coded too! ☺️
