I started in March this year, and so far these have been my changes:
- Google Drive -> Filen.io
- Google Photos -> EntePhotos
- Google Gmail -> Proton (not 100% yet)
- Google Translator -> Offline Translator and Mozhi
- Google Maps -> CoMaps/OpenStreetMap
- Google PlayStore -> AuroraStore / F-Droid
- Google Search -> DuckDuckGo
- Youtube -> Before PipePipe but now Morphe Youtube
And anothers changes outside of google:
- ChatGpt -> Duck.ai
- Spotify -> ArchiveTune
- Chess.com -> LiChess
- Netflix -> Jellyfin
- GitHub -> Codeberg
- Reddit -> Morphe Reddit and Lemmy
- Twitter -> Mastodon and Bsky
- I also stopped using Instagram and TikTok
its difficult to start, but the satisfaction afterwards is very good



i’m aware; i just like that there’s reference it on lemmy – intentional or not. lol
and also thanks for sharing your experience, i’m about to take this leap myself and it help to learn what others are experiencing.
