I feel like #degoogle seems to embody a greater movement to leave bigtech. Here are the crazy things I've done over the last month or so.

  • Installed Arch on my laptop about a month ago
  • re-engaged my Mastodon and Bluesky while deleting Twitter and unfriending everyone on Facebook
  • Installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel
  • Moved email to custom domain and Tuta from Gmail
  • Moved to NextCloud in place of Google Drive
  • Moved photos from Google Photos to Ente Photos
  • Moved my PKM and Notes to Logseq
  • Moved from Chome and Google Search to Firefox, Tor and DuckDuckGo
  • Just deleted Reddit and started a Lemmy account.

It's been a ride and I'm open to other suggestions and guides.

I'd use Firefox too... LibreOffice to get an office suite. DuckDuckGo is still feeding Google - sadly.

    What alternative would you suggest over DuckDuckGo? I'm always looking to learn more.

    There's plenty... Most of those I use is on this list... Remember that even DDG could be giving away private info, through fingerprints or other means... I use more search engines, to spread my risk.
