The graphic format doesn't do much for those looking to learn, if I don't already know the non-google icon or app this doesn't help. I understand the point of the post is to drive discussion but if the whole broader goal is to help people switch listing it out in text or labeling the icons at least would make it as useful as the other breakdowns we often see here that have lists by app/category are more useful.

Highly recommend Tuta instead of proton.

Proton has removed themselves from Mastodon after one of their heads sucked off trump and the Republican Party.

What is the YouTube alternative? That’s what I’m struggling to find. I found PeerTube but couldn’t find much I’d like to watch.

ETA: I like videos like Veritasium and VSauce, Tom Scott, those kinds of things.

Nextcloud. Replaced drive, contacts, calendar, and their office. Basically all their groupware stuff with addituonal functionality. Davx5 on android to sync to nextcloud.

My replacements

• Gmail -> Proton Mail
• Chrome -> Firefox
• Google Photos -> Ente Photos
• Google Drive -> Proton Drive, Filen
• YouTube -> YouTube Revanced
• WhatsApp -> Signal
• Google Keep -> Joplin
• Google Docs -> LibreOffice
• Translate -> DeepL

I’m loving mailbox.org as an alternative to Gmail and Magic Earth as a replacement for Google Maps. Also I’ve been using Ecosia - both the browser and the search engine. Sadly the search engine is just a reskinned bing, but they are involved in the project of making the first real EU based search engine. And once that’s out I’m looking forward to using that.

If only my uni email was not using gmail..

Gmail and maps are my last hold outs.

TickTick is Chinese and Nobody should use it. They have full access to your calendar, todo lists and so on. Don’t organize your life in a Chinese owned app.

My current progress:
Gmail and calendar ➡️ @Tutanota@mastodon.social some issues with UI and performance, but overall happy.
Browser ➡️ Zen (Firefox fork)
Storage ➡️ NAS with mesh VPN
Photos/videos: Jellyfin but also just manual folders. Phone sync with Easy Sync over WebDav. Quite hacky, but it works.
YouTube: SOL ​:bocchi_wiggle:​
Chat: pretty much everything with no consensus. ​:dumpsterkun:​ Attempting to use matrix/signal/xmpp more.

Still room for improvement with text/voice/video chat being the big current struggle.
