    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.

      @linguistgoneforeign how organic maps can be a choice, without real time traffic?

              I don't drive, so it has fulfilled my purpose up until now. 🤷🏻‍♀️

                  @linguistgoneforeign I'm interested in your choice of Tuta *and* Proton, why and what's the division of labor? Also what makes Fossify better than either of their calendars, if you feel like expounding

                  Tuta was the first switch I made, it ticked all boxes for my primary email accounts whereas Proton didn't. Later on I created a few Proton accounts (one for online payments, one to drop when an email was address required, etc). It was also a conscious decision to diversify and not have all the information in one place.

                    None of their calendars convinced me, and in the spirit of diversifying, I didn't want to have my emails and appointments in the same place.

                    Fossify was easy to set up on a server and comnect via DAVx5.
