Was catching up on old links and found this:

You can set up an Android phone without a Google account and with some independence from the Play Store.

What email service does everyone use to deGoogle themselves?
I'm looking for something extremely privacy focused, if that possible. I'd also prefer not to selfhost my own email but if thats the only option....
EDITED: I've moved over to #protonmail as suggested.

So happy to see this direction from @protonprivacy and happy to be a customer. Have been using proton services only for the last year but I am so impressed, and have successfully de-googled so many parts of my digital life.
This change to a non-profit is incredible.
#proton #privacy #nonprofit #degoogle
If I were looking to #DeGoogle my life; how do people rate (paid-for) @protonprivacy services (calendar/mail/drive)?
My main concerns are #security and #privacy.
Please ONLY share your opinions on #Proton.
If you _insist_ on sharing other opinions, I only want to hear them if they pertain to
#FullyManaged #CloudStorage with #E2EE that is reasonably priced.
I will accept absolutely no requirement to self-host or self-maintain, no matter how 'easy' you think it is. I have money, not time.
@protonprivacy It's ironic that if one wants to #DeGoogle and one clicks the "How to use Proton Pass" option within the Android App, then instead of a Proton support page...
...it's a link to a YouTube video.
So, the steps to #DeGoogle are:
1. Download Proton Pass.
2. Re-engage with Google via a YouTube video.
3. Start using Pass.
4. Forget where that link takes users and hit it again, and again, and again.
5. Try to clean my video history from my Google account.
Well done, Proton!
Looking to #DeGoogle? #ProtonPass is now available on #FDroid. https://proton.me/blog/proton-pass-fdroid
@eff @theregister can someone with coding skills, please help develop a peertube client for AndroidTV (esp. something similar to SmartTube)? Please.
We need federated alternatives to YouTube.
Can anyone recommend a good Gmail replacement service that is privacy driven ideally with good calendar integration. Happy to pay and in fact would not consider free services as they need to make money somehow and we all know where that road leads....
The #deGoogle project continues. This week I want to get off #GooglePhotos. Looking for a secure photo storage service with Android support that won't sell my data to an AI.
