If you are still using Google or Facebook services to communicate and store data, the best time to leave was yesterday.

The second best time to leave is right now.

@Em0nM4stodon The only thing I use Gooogle for is YouTube is logged in on my console, and has it's own email address that I don't use for anything else. In fact, I haven't even checked the messages in years now. All my Google Home speakers sit under a thick layer of dust, in a pile in my crawlspace. I'm working my way through migrating off of Android.

Notes - A few apps that simply save as markdown files, synced as files to NextCloud
Navi - HereWeGo when using Android, PureMaps as I migrate off Android.
Smart Home - Home Assistant, migrating from cloud controlled devices to Zigbee.

Thanks @hellomiakoda ! @Em0nM4stodon We like alternatives too, such as HereWeGo maps - love that you can download and use offline.
