@Tutanota All of them and then some.
@Tutanota I just use Android, but all the other services I use are already on my server 😎
I'm waiting for the @MOTOROLA x @GrapheneOS collab ❤️
@Tutanota no meta
grapheneos on my pixel 10 pro. i have a dormant gmail account that i created years ago when you could get away with no name, phone number, etc. i think about getting rid of it but can't help but think it still be useful.
cachyos as my daily driver. planning on creating a dual boot with void linux. i have a "just in case" windows 11 partition on my laptop. though all i really do with it these days is boot in to it every 3/4 months to make sure its still functional and update it
@Tutanota android is the last issue.
@Tutanota I only have an Google and MS Account, but not signed in to any of my devices directly.
MS is still needed to play Minecraft and Forza Horizon. My Google Account is for purchased apps from google play (I'm installing these with the Aurora Store). ;)
@Tutanota Oh, yes! De-big tech!
@Tutanota none
All done already
@Tutanota Already deleted Facebook and Instagram. Currently working my way into replacing Gmail with Tuta, and fully transition to @GrapheneOS
@Tutanota In my personal life the only difficult one is the first. Mainly for the creative content in YT and because transitioning to another mail address seems complicate for many reasons.
The other two were easy and done years ago. (Made easier by the fact that I always refused to join Whattsapp, and never really liked FB, X, any Microsoft products etc. I recognise my privilege!)
In my professional life I have no choice but to use MS and other big commercial products and that is infuriating.
@Tutanota Don't have to DeMeta as I've never Meta'd
@Tutanota Almost 100% free of Meta and Microsoft. The most difficult is Google, since I'm an Android user. Unfortunately, we don't yet have a 100% ready and reliable alternative solution, but I believe in the potential of open-source technologies for this someday. The path of decentralization is beautiful and promising.
@Tutanota 🎶... It's DeLovely🎶
@Tutanota De all. Wenn du diese Post von einem Apple oder Android liest, du weisst: es ist schlechter, als es aussieht.
@Tutanota de google is hard as well
No one can replace google maps when its urgent
@Tutanota De Meta is hard
problem is to convince your loved ones to move out of whatsapp - then they convince other 20
which is next to impossible
@Tutanota Every single one of them.
@Tutanota
I am already out of Meta and out of Microsoft for my personal stuff.
@Tutanota Sadly, no. Already done all of that the years before :(
@Tutanota I need a tutorial about how I can do all of this!
@Tutanota
All Meta accounts downloaded and deleted. Dual booting Linux / Windows as I transition fully to Linux. Google is the big battle just getting started. Samsung picked a bad time to force me to use Google Messages for my texting.
@Tutanota How can I tick all of them?
@Tutanota recently un-ticked the last one after going from gaming->less gaming on linux->no gaming on freebsd->a single isolated win11 enterprise iot ltsc machine for gaming
@Tutanota Got that mostly pinned down, tho still using google maps and youtube.
Also I must admit I really like c#, though I'm using mono.
@Tutanota All completed in 2023.
@Tutanota Trying to Degoogle, but your mail app is giving me grief...
@Tutanota haven't had a Meta account in years. Microslop in even longer. Degoogled last summer. De-Protoned a couple months back as well.
@Tutanota Microsoft gone. Meta (still on instagram but FB gone). Google: working on it step by step!
@Tutanota DeMeta was easy because I was never on them. But the other two are difficult for practical reasons 😞
@Tutanota been there done that, give me more targets
@Tutanota
Bis auf Google Maps, habe ich alles geschafft.
Evtl. schaff ich das mit Mapy.com
@Tutanota google 50℅
Microsoft in progresa
Meta off
@Tutanota getting rid of Meta - WhatsApp- is tricky
@Tutanota
Achieved last year
@Tutanota Almost all of them, I just use Windows for After Effects
@Tutanota Add "DeApple" there as well :)
@Tutanota
DeGoogle done
DeMeta never done it 
DeMicrosoft ..in work..50% done
- Fully DeMeta
- Partially DeGoogle
- - Also one School GAccount unfortunately
- Mostly DeMicrosoft
- - with the exception of LinkedIn
I’d be completely off of all of this stuff were it not for the fact that other entities I deal with are not. For example, I signed up for a history course on Coursera; they serve the readings as Google Docs. Also, a charity organization I work with does their primary reporting on financial receipts and expenditures via FB. It’s not a good time to try to help them transition. I do as much as I can to get off the tech oligarch platforms, but in the end, I have to meet people where they are. It’s a process.
@Tutanota Only my work laptop is running on Microslop. So, I do not have any impact on this, unfourtunately.
@Tutanota I’ve already managed to go DeMeta and DeMicrosoft thanks to Linux and XMPP.
The goal for 2026 is to go DeGoogle.
Still fighting!!
@Tutanota I only have deGoogle left, slowly pulling away.
@Lightfighter Well done!💪🏼
