Pablo Majster :clippy:<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://techhub.social/@hosford42" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>hosford42</span></a></span> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Em0nM4stodon</span></a></span> Of course! Since you're already on Mastodon, the first thing I'd suggest is replacing all Big Tech social platforms with fediverse alternatives. That means Instagram with <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>pixelfed</span></a></span> :pixelfed:, YouTube with <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://framapiaf.org/@peertube" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>peertube</span></a></span> 🚫:youtube:, Reddit with Lemmy 🗨️</p><p>📱 Next step - switch from WhatsApp or Messenger to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.world/@signalapp" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>signalapp</span></a></span> :signal: It's a secure, private messenger with end-to-end encryption (E2EE) - actually, WhatsApp is based on Signal's protocol. I also use <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.matrix.org/@matrix" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>matrix</span></a></span> 🌐 - it's a decentralized messenger with E2EE too. It works kind of like the fediverse - you choose a server where your messages and data are stored, and when you chat with someone, the servers federate.</p><p>:mail_smirk: You should also replace Gmail - it's pure Big Tech. I use Protom Mail :protonmail:, but I'm thinking about switching to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Tutanota" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>Tutanota</span></a></span>. Their company seems more focused on email, while Proton is building a whole ecosystem. Both are encrypted and have great privacy policies 🔒</p><p>🌍 Now, about browsing the internet - instead of Chrome or other trackers, I recommend <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@brave" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>brave</span></a></span> 🦁 It has a built-in ad blocker and blocks tracking scripts. It also protects against fingerprinting and other privacy threats 🚫:eyes_happy:</p><p>🔎 And what about search engines? Time to dethrone Google. I use DuckDuckGo :duckduckgo:, <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@StartpageSearch" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>StartpageSearch</span></a></span>, and Brave Search. Each has pros and cons, but all claim to protect your privacy.</p><p>🔐 You mentioned logging into many accounts with Google :google: - unfortunately, there's no universal way to switch to manual login. You have to check each service's settings one by one. Once you do, I recommend using a password manager that doesn't collect your metadata - <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@bitwarden" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>bitwarden</span></a></span> 💪 It's open-source, had no major leaks, and you can even host it yourself.</p><p>💻 Want to go all in? Replace your operating system. It's a later step, but a powerful one. For desktop - Linux :linux: For smartphone - <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>GrapheneOS</span></a></span> 📱 Both are privacy-focused and offer top-level security 🔐</p><p>🚀 Hope this helps you build your long-term path away from Big Tech.

fraggle<p>Devices like the PinePhone and Librem 5 are slowly carving out space for open mobile computing. These are not sleek consumer devices built for mass market appeal. They are platforms built by and for developers, hackers, and those who demand control over their hardware. With full root access, modular apps, and support for desktop-grade Linux distros like postmarketOS, Mobian, and Arch ARM, they challenge the locked-down nature of traditional smartphones.</p><p>While performance and battery life still lag behind mainstream phones, the focus is on freedom: running your own code, replacing parts, and escaping corporate ecosystems. For privacy advocates and tinkerers alike, Linux phones represent a small but significant shift in how we think about mobile tech.</p><p><a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/linuxphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxPhone</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/mobilecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MobileComputing</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/techfreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechFreedom</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/righttorepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RightToRepair</span></a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/privacytools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PrivacyTools</span></a></p>
