    A “degoogled” world is still a “facebooked”, “amazoned”, “microsofted” world. We need decentralized alternatives in general.

    > Google Search -> DuckDuckGo There are more private solutions, such as SearX.

    > YouTube -> Vimeo You can’t be serious…

    > Google Maps -> Apple Maps No.

    > Android -> iOS Is this post just an Apple shill, or something? Why?

    > Google Chrome -> Safari Okay, it IS an Apple shilling post…

    > Google Chrome -> Brave/Vivaldi Oh God… are these REALLY private solutions? SERIOUSLY??

    > Google Hangouts -> FaceTime/Microsoft Teams I give up.

    spreadprivacy.com”? Where is the privacy part? All they are doing is make people drop Google for other corporate solutions! Doing so we’re just giving our data to other corporations instead of Google! Is this really the solution? Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Netflix… all of them should be avoided as much as possible.

    Do you want private solutions? OBLITERATE. ANY. KIND. OF. CORPORATE. SOFTWARE.

    I’m sorry if I sound rude or aggressive, but this post is bullshit and it’s just spreading misinformation. It doesn’t provide any help, the opposite, it’s just promoting the use of more coporate software instead of FLOSS and decentralized solutions made by the community.

      I love that!

      It should be obvious to anyone working for any sizable corporate. It needs to be communicated to all.

      The big problem isn’t who knows how to use software for privacy but who doesn’t so leaving google is already a big start

        Yes, but why would you point to Apple at all?

        It’s not that Firefox is too arcane compared to Safari. Apple Maps is just aweful in terms of estimating ETAs and on top of that made by another coorporate that will extract value from any data point they have.

        I mean in general:

        Do you want private solutions? OBLITERATE. ANY. KIND. OF. CORPORATE. SOFTWARE.

        is trivially true.

        So let’s just make that point clear!

    I’ve managed to remove several Google services from my normal use pretty easily. I actually pay for email now. I have to get back into using Open Street Maps, so if anyone knows a good client that would be appreciated!

    Sadly, I’m still stuck on an Android phone. I didn’t realize it at the time, but the phone I bought isn’t supported by LineageOS and the like, so I’m kind of stuck for now.

        True!

        I actually don’t use google at all outside of work. For following youtube channels I use something called https://www.newsblur.com/ for my RSS feed so my feed can be the same on several devices and computers, if that is of any help to anyone!
