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.

Try NextDNS too. It routes to private DNS instead of using Google's, and it also lets you use blocklists. There are specific google and facebook blocklists, along with many other. You can see the logs and notice how much Google stalks you all over the Internet! It also shows you info about trackers that see you, even if you didnt block them, and gives you the option to block those too. Logs show blocked trackers as well. Good job, btw!
