Thanks to everyone who participated in the first 5-Week De-Google Challenge on Signal!

I'm about to start another de-Google challenge AND a de-Amazon challenge on Monday.

Here is info on the de-Amazon group. (Signal group and PDF plan)

The de-Google Signal group is here.

And for the de-Google challenge we'll be using this checklist

I hope you'll join (and share) one...or both!.

fyi, Signal's servers are hosted on a mixture of Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud.

Oh yeah, I don't think we'll be getting off AWS or Google Cloud anytime soon unless the big websites decide to look elsewhere for hosting...but we are doing everything we can!
