I deleted my google accounts today

Now, send a gpdr deletion request because Google still has your data.

Do you have any guides or tips?

Would you be able to let us know the services you used, the replacements, and how did the migration process work?

Welcome to the club.

I'm considering it. Youtube just removed a comment of mine calling an elon simp a cracker for "harassment"

Really it's just about the last straw, they passively protect billionaires but will let outright hate speech stay up. They also advertise nazis.

This is a daunting proposition, I'm admittedly massively invested in Google's ecosystem. Gmail and Google calendar, I have a pixel phone, watch and buds and have YouTube premium. I feel like the time I switch is when I have a homelab and am able to find open source alternatives to everything heavily use and be able to do so with all devices I use.

Welcome to the real world.

I want to delete mine too, but I use GMail and I have not found a good alternative yet. Tutanota doesn't have Thunderbird support and ProtonMail has, but only on paid accounts. I really want to use Thunderbird because it is such a great email client.

Hi,

Trying to do it myself but I'm stuck with YouTube.

I mean, I need a gmail account to pay for the Premium sub. And then, most creators are still using YouTube not the few alternatives... How do you guys do?

Well done!

I ended up keeping mine for occasional things like leaving YT comments or subscribing to Firebase-distributed apps.

I can't wait to graduate college so I can stop using my Google account. I still have to use mine for the online office suite. I use LibreOffice if it's just me but I have to collaborate and do group assignments on Google Docs and Slides too.

Any suggestions on starting this process? I have a Raspberry Pi and was looking into self-hosted Google Drive/Photos/Gmail replacement. Best FOSS replacements?

Welcome to the degoogled fold 🤗

I'm only keeping mine to be able to pay for YouTube premium.

Who dis?

Six months and they will be restored by you, don't worry 😃

Anyone have any alternatives to Voice?

Boffo!

Exclusively Tutanota/Proton?

Congrats!

I didn't, but I did all the other privacy things and as a result Google locked me out of my accounts so its basically the same thing
