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.

Was your guide the opt - out project?

I'm not quite as far or deep as you, but overall, it feels so much better even if it's not quite as seamless.

Yes, it was! Thank you for reminding me, I'll send her a thank you message. 💕

Best of luck in your journey.
