I’m in the midst of eliminating anything from my life that is connected to big tech. I’m going to delete my Amazon, and Google Accounts. I already deleted my Facebook. I’m working on getting my purchases downloaded and converted from Amazon as of writing this.

I’m going to get rid of Reddit as well. Sadly reddit has become super contaminated with censorship, and that is one of the hardest platforms for me to leave. It must be done though, i can no longer support their platform. Gmail will probably be the last thing to go. Already switched email services and i’m trying to get everything moved over. Years of connecting services to Gmail leaves me in a tangled mess.

I didn’t have a point really. I just wanted to tell people who might appreciate, and solidify my actions in my own mind. I’m trying to create a new self identity in a privacy focused environment.

    I am in the middle of doing pretty much the same. Even though it takes some time, I can say it is definitely a good decision. The most difficult appears to be leaving or changing accounts connected to Gmail. Slowly but surly it is coming through though. Overall an interesting process, I must say. And healthy of course without a doubt.

      ah, good to hear from a like minded individual. For so many years I trusted google, but the political situation over the last 5 years has really opened my eyes to what google, and its tech peers have become. Its soo bad

        The more I learn, the more sick I am of what has happend to us and the internet as a whole. That and…. terrified of the implications, to be honest. Truly a sad story.
