Switching from reddit and X to lemme and mastodon has removed all the racism and political extremists from my life. Such a joy!
Other than that, I'm on Facebook because of my sons football club has a group there and instagram to support my wife and receive the occasional meme worthy reel she sends me.
I ditched google and apple photos backup for synology years ago and am just now trying immich, which is amazing BTW.
Yes exactly, it's so much less violent!
For me it was from Twitter to Mastodon. What a difference!!
Reddit to Lemmy, easily
I can't get through the stage of switching from MS Office to Libre Office especially that I kind of need Excel desktop version. Thus I'm still keeping Windows on my laptop.
Hmm, I haven't really switched much. Our car is from a Korean manufacurer, my email and webhosting providers are from Germany, I selfhost some services and use a lot of open source software, use a metasearch engine, OsmAND... And while I still have accounts on Facebook, X, Reddit, you-name-it, I've been trying to avoid them for years by now. I wonder if there's something left for me.
In the digital realm: Reddit and G-Suite were the big ones. Just completed migration of my private accounts. Both 16+ years). Lemmy, Proton + Nextcloud for now. Have not switched my business over yet, but it will be a quick process once I fully commit.
If for any reason Gmail gets blocked in the future there will be many people surprised by not only losing their email, but also access to their external online services (if they need the email address in any way to sign in). Of course also to any data they keep in the Google ecosystem.
