I'm slowly ditching Google lately. Always on the lookout for better options, so lemme know what you're using! 👌

My current progress:
Gmail and calendar ➡️ @[email protected] 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.
