While I agree on this, I think Ungoogled Chromium could be a soft way to degoogle yourself while maybe looking for complete replacements. It took me almost 2 weeks to degoogle me almost totally, at the beginning having a minimum of compatibility is nice

The only Google thing holding me back from full degoogling is YouTube, but with how garbage the platform is becoming, especially with the algorithm just going berserk and it probably not being long until I start being affected by the adblock-block, I think moving away from it is only going to be easier than ever before.

serious question: what do for email if you've been a gmail user for .... (checks notes) ... almost 20 years? self hosted?

honest question. I'm interested, but really have no idea what my options are when I've had the same email address for half my life / all of my adult life.

I personally use mailbox.org for emails and anonaddy for aliases

[–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

mailbox already has aliases and temporary addresses right

[–] redditReallySucks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah, but I don't find them as convenient to use
