I have found something yet, but I've heard ENTE Authenticator is pretty good.

Hey, thanks! Yeah I think we were all naive at the dawn of social media and I stupidly trusted big tech. I've been getting rid of all big tech over this last month that and it's been kind of exciting finding FOSS and decentralized alternatives. The discourse seems more genuine and interactive. Hopefully it won't change.

Unpopular opinion: best pizza is jalepnos, anchovies and pineapple. Spiced, salty and sweet.

Just joined 30 mins ago after I found out (really late) that OpenAI was using Reddit to train its LLM.

It was a lot of work. I had the benefit of having time off and recovering from spinal fusion to make this happen. I deleted many of my accounts that I used gmail for logins. My gmail address that people have had for years is now forwarding to my custom domain. For YouTube I've been using PeerTube and not using YouTube at all.

Meta is hard as I manage pages for work, but I currently have no friends which caused my wife to get messages from friends asking if we were getting divorced ๐Ÿคฃ. I've brought my wife, sister and mom over to Signal so far by SMS is difficult to get people to change. I just cancled my Whatsapp account and if people want to connect they can reach out.

I replaced Google Keep with Logseq. I was looking at Obsidian, but found out it was not FOSS. I love then Daily Note that Logseq uses.

 

I feel like #degoogle seems to embody a greater movement to leave bigtech. Here are the crazy things I've done over the last month or so.

  • Installed Arch on my laptop about a month ago
  • re-engaged my Mastodon and Bluesky while deleting Twitter and unfriending everyone on Facebook
  • Installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel
  • Moved email to custom domain and Tuta from Gmail
  • Moved to NextCloud in place of Google Drive
  • Moved photos from Google Photos to Ente Photos
  • Moved my PKM and Notes to Logseq
  • Moved from Chome and Google Search to Firefox, Tor and DuckDuckGo
  • Just deleted Reddit and started a Lemmy account.

It's been a ride and I'm open to other suggestions and guides.
