Nextcloud can replace a lot of Google services. It is open-source, so you can host it yourself, or use an ISP that supports it. I use an ISP that is based in the EU.
@Tutanota
#nextcloud made it possible for me to (self-)host my (and my family's) phone calendars, contacts, and even when pictures are taken, they get uploaded to our Nextcloud instance, and NOT to google/apple.
10/10, would recommend for any household looking to #degoogle.
Others include #searxng, has literally replaced all monolithic search engines, works great, no ads or AI
#mastodon, for my #activitypub based social network
#matrix for chatting with my social network
and also #KDE.

@Tutanota it’s not the greatest search engine yet, but stract.com is good and offers some unique features like “optics”

@Tutanota My favorite #Degoogle and #Demicrosoft solutions:
Server side: @doncow, @nextcloud, some #Fediverse projects, #Matrix (Synapse) #Keycloak for SSO
Client side (Linux): #Evolution, #Libreoffice, #Librewolf
Mobile ( @GrapheneOS ): #FairEmail, #Firefox, some Fediverse clients, Matrix client

@Tutanota Qwant is nice browser and search engine
@Tutanota can we nominate ourselves for a Google Photos alternative? 😉
Other than @zeitkapsl, @Tutanota of course, also @nextcloud and @dawarich
@Tutanota Auxio for local music streaming

@Tutanota as much as I love and use Signal, I don't see how it counts as a DeGooglify app. Now to the question, I like Fossify apps, FairEmail, Aurora Store, F-Droid (Droid-ify), Obtainium, Tubular, KeePassDX, FUTO Keyboard, among others...
