I feel like #degoogle seems to embody a greater movement to leave bigtech. Here are the crazy things I've done over the last month or so.

Installed Arch on my laptop about a month ago
re-engaged my Mastodon and Bluesky while deleting Twitter and unfriending everyone on Facebook
Installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel
Moved email to custom domain and Tuta from Gmail
Moved to NextCloud in place of Google Drive
Moved photos from Google Photos to Ente Photos
Moved my PKM and Notes to Logseq
Moved from Chome and Google Search to Firefox, Tor and DuckDuckGo
Just deleted Reddit and started a Lemmy account.

It's been a ride and I'm open to other suggestions and guides.
