I have completely stopped using google services and software on my personal devices (even have lineageos + microg on my phone. The problem is that I can't just explain to the technically uneducated people that I changed mail providers. How should I go about doing this?

And you can auto-forward your gmail messages to your new address.

I just did that last year and I found some people are too lazy to get the hint but many will notice you're sending replies back from a different address and will get it on their own. You can't fix everyone, so don't try to, I guess.

Wow, this is actually a cool feature. I might set it up later.
