Wanna break free from #Google?

• Instead of #gmail, I use #disroot (disroot.org). with #k9 (k9mail.github.io) and #thunderbird (thunderbird.net) as clients.
• Instead of #google search, I use #searx (Searx instances), #duckduckgo (duckdukgo.com), and #startpage (startpage.com).
  Searx instance FuckOffGoogle.de has the most suggessive name.
  I recommend setting it as a default search engine on publicly used computers (at your school, work place, internet caffees, etc.)
• Instead of #youtube, I use #peertube (joinpeertube.org) and #invidious (Invidious Instances).
  I also use #firefox #addon PeerTubeify to get redirected to peertube if a #video is available from there.
• Instead of #googleplus, I use #diaspora (diasporafoundation.org).
• Instead of #chrome, I use #icecat (Icecat), #firefox (Firefox), and #tor #browser (torproject.org).
• Instead of #chromeos, I use #Parabola #GNU #linux-libre (parabola.nu) and #linuxmint (linuxmint.com).
• Instead of google #calendar, I use #nextcloud / #owncloud calendar (nextcloud.com).
• Instead of #googledrive, I use #nextcloud and #syncthing (syncthing.net)
• Instead of google forms, I use Framaforms.
  It is only available in French, which unfortunately I don't speak, but that does not stop me from regularly using it. B-)
• Instead of doodle, I use Framadate.
• Instead of #android, I use #replicant OS (replicant.us) on a Technoethical S3 phone.
  #FSFE has a good website freeyourandroid.org about liberating your device.
• Instead of #googleplay, I use #F-Droid (f-droid.org).
  If you want to reach all apps from Google Play, I recommend #yalp store (YalpStore), but be warned that most of the apps there are not #free-software.
• Instead of #googlemaps, I use #openstreetmap (openstreetmap.org).
• Instead of google street view, I use #mapillary (mapillary.com).
• For text #chat, I use #xmmp with my #disroot account, with pix-art messanger #fork of #conversations (Conversations) on mobile and gajim on desktop.
• For video chat, I use #jitsi (jitsi.org).
• #Framasoft and #diroot offers plenty of other great services. See https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/list/ and https://disroot.org/en/#_white-bar
• Finally, I recommend you to spread/share your desire, successes and difficulties (both online and offline) of getting free from Google and #GAFAM ( #Google, #Apple, #Facebook, #Amazon, #Microsoft) in general.
