Simona CasolariAfter about a month of researching, documenting, and writing, this piece is out. Out of my brain, out of my soul. Knowledge hurts sometimes. Acting consciously is so empowering though, and liberating.Thanks <a href="https://mastodon.social/@Ullilust" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Ullilust</a> and <a href="https://mastodon.ml/@Xeniax" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Xeniax</a> for allowing me to include your images and words.

Pete OrrallDoes anyone have recommendations for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/googlevoice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#googlevoice</a> alternatives? I'm currently <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/degoogling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#degoogling</a> and am in need of a replacement.

emberfiendIf anyone else has been struggling to find a way off Google Drive or Dropbox, and has found Proton Drive and pCloud wanting (no Linux daemon / vibes, respectively), I've been pretty impressed by Infomaniak's kDrive.

Ken Walker :caflag:I watched a <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/youtube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#youtube</a> video tonight on my <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#android</a> phone and when I tried to log out of <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YouTube</a> I wasn't able to do it. The Google help instructions didn't resemble the menu choices. I finally gave up. It seems clear that is their intent.

AzuYeyy, spent all weekend installing e/OS on my phone and moving all my data away from google. This was a long time coming and i am very happy that it all worked out. The only thing that i dont know how to solve is cashless pay with my phone. Since that somehow only is possible with google wallet¿? But well i guess using cash might actually cause me to spend more responsibly. <a href="https://fedi.catboy.agency/tags/deGoogle" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#deGoogle</a>

Usually paid, but many alternative providers exist and migrating between them is relatively painless.<a href="https://social.mkj.earth/tags/DeGoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeGoogle</a>

Petter NaslundStarting My DeGoogle Journey! 🚀I’ve decided to move away from Big Tech and focus on privacy. I’m currently loving @ProtonMail, Proton VPN, and Proton Drive—their commitment to privacy is outstanding.I’m also making a conscious effort to use more EU-based software to avoid reliance on Big Tech and US companies.Anyone else on this journey? What EU-based tools are you using? 🔒<a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/DeGoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeGoogle</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Proton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Proton</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/EUSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EUSoftware</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/buyeuropean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buyeuropean</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/goeuropean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#goeuropean</a>

Charlotte AtenI was a bit slow on this one, but I finally disabled Google Maps on my phone! I've been using Organic Maps (<a href="https://organicmaps.app/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://organicmaps.app/</a>) for a little while now and I've had a great experience. I just have two issues:1) Unless I download Organic Maps from the Google Play Store, I can't use it with Android Auto when I'm in a car. I want to disconnect from Google, so this is not ideal. 2) It seems like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@organicmaps" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@organicmaps</a> is the official Mastodon account, but they don't have their website verified.It only took a few minutes to copy the places I had saved on Google Maps into a note in <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Fossify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fossify</a> Notes (<a href="https://www.fossify.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.fossify.org/</a>). As usual, I'm finding that plain text notes are exactly what I need and give me a better experience than these bloated corporate apps.<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/OrganicMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OrganicMaps</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/GoogleMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GoogleMaps</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/DeGoogle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeGoogle</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Android</a>

Senne Driesen...and here it is. I've completely ditched Meta and am now on a journey to de-Google my life as well. I feel so relieved!!! The online environment there was just too toxic. It's challenging to avoid all billionaire big tech companies, but I'm glad I chose Mastodon (and Cara) over the alternatives.
