The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I’m so glad I’ve been de-googlifying these past few years. All that’s left is an Adblocked YT and a Gmail account I mostly use to sign up for random shit.

Any tips or suggestions?

mailbox.org for mail. you can watch most youtube using freetube and skip the ads and sponsors.

Regarding YouTube, the only real options you have are Peertube (which has little content and a discovery problem) or Odysee (which is fine as long as you don’t look at the comments)

As for E-Mail, due to the recent proton situation the only real option (unless you don’t care about that) is self hosting

There's plenty of privacy respecting non-proton options that don't involve trying to set up your own mail server.

I am not fully degoogled by any means (it is really hard when family uses and relies on Google products), but you can always start with your own domain and a private (paid) email service (like fastmail or proton). It's an easy step to take for yourself (but getting everyone you know to start using the new one takes time).

I have a Synology NAS I use for storage, photos, and media. It's easy mode storage l, and comes with a lot of apps you can install to replace ones you might use from Google/apple.

Unfortunately proton is no longer a company I trust either. It’s getting harder and harder to find a safe haven…

I haven't seen anything really discouraging out of Infomaniak, either, for e-mail and drive services. Been using them for a while now.

Hadn't learned about changes to proton, I use fastmail personally but have people I know who recommend proton, maybe that has changed

tuta has been great in my experience as long as you only need email. I was actually able to just get my last name@tuta.com and use addy.io for email forwarding.

The only google I use is youtube. I started out on the internet in the 90s and while I was introduced to google, I found it highly unappealing and I was a yahoo guy until I made duckduckgo my default search. I got a lot of my news from yahoo news at one point.
