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.

Thanks for the tip!
Checking it out now 🧐 -
@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.
