@Tutanota We use MS at work so that one will take some time, even though I pester IT for Linux at every opportunity 😂 as for the other two, I haven't deleted my accounts but they are, at this point, entirely dormant & will most likely be dying for good this year & all Google products have been replaced 👍
Degoogle: almost, next phone will be Fairphone with /e/os
Demeta: quitted whatsapp years ago, check
Demicrosoft: on Linux now, only have to leave their authenticator. Left hotmail and use Tuta for many years.
Already done ✅
@Tutanota All Gone, including Apple, which I used to really respect.
Done. Done. And done.
The only tie I still have to Google is the integrated map on my Hyundai Kona infotainment system, and I can't disable it or install an alternative.
Anyone know how to root an infotainment system?
@IT_SME Well done! Hmh, tech in cars is a difficult one..
@Tutanota Only DeBezos left for me.
And this is a tough one.
@Tutanota Linux: De-M$ for 20+ years. Couldn't afford to upgrade hardware with every OS update. Most of my computers/laptops are over 10 years old, and many of them were free, from friends.
Am the admin for an organization's FB page, otherwise, I don't use it.
I'm still on Android, but most of the apps I use are from F-droid. I would like to use a phone with an open source OS, but only if it can be run on an under-$250 phone, and on my current carrier.
@Tutanota probably not, but definitely reducing/limiting
@Tutanota I cant and I wont be able to
@Tutanota Does playing Minecraft count as using Microsoft? Else I would have already no Google, no Meta and no Microsoft since even years
@Tutanota Working on #1, #2 Whatsapp is unavoidable in Germany 
>:( and #3 almost complete :-)
@Tutanota I'm on my way. Only youtube and GitHub remains
@Tutanota For music production, de-microsoft ist unfortunately still rather difficult. Most commercial providers of high quality virtual instruments are still not interested in supporting formats that work in Linux.
@Tutanota just joined whatsapp last week after having left around 2018 :/
Separate phone number and only people that don't have something else
Can't fully quit Microsoft because of games with kernel level anti cheat and Minecraft. (Whyyyy did you sell to MS, Notch)
Google I am like 98% there, just kinda don't want to delete the accounts and still get some stuff from the play store.
