Mastodon seems to be a very pro-privacy, anti-Gopgle place.

@chris_colvin The only one I still use regularly is YouTube. Occasionally I use Maps but only if I need Streetview. I'd love to get rid of both and be able to say that I'm completely Google free, but alas, the alternatives just don't have the content.

@chris_colvin I only use Google email and calendars for things that aren’t important to me.

@rubyjones the lack of spoons is so real

[chris_colvin@mastodon.social]

@stveje as a YouTube addict myself, that is the toughest one for me gaha

[stveje@mstdn.social]

@chris_colvin Same. If I were making videos, I'd post them on Peertube for sure, but as a consumer of videos? I'm basically fucked.

@chris_colvin@mastodon.social I use nothing from Google except Android system webview, which can't be replaced without root or custom ROM

[angelascholder@mastodon.energy]

@chris_colvin Well, that's 1-3 as my mobiles are still the standard Android as the Moto G6Plus and the Xperia XZ2 Premium came with.
Both still too good to replace.
And on the Xperia I don't want to screw up the camera and video.

@chris_colvin It really is.

[rubyjones@wandering.shop]

@pentup @chris_colvin Oooh, I wasn't counting Android (but all the Phone OSes I could possibly work with are evil) and I recently (like, just a couple of weeks ago) had to get Google Wallet because I left my purse at home and it was the only way to pay. I've made exactly one purchase with it, but yeah, I would also be in 4-6

@chris_colvin I’m at 1… YouTube. I don’t how I could drop it until those content creators don’t move elsewhere.

I have reduced its use though.
