… Installed Graphene OS and deleted my Google account. May not seem like a big deal to some, but it was a project long in the making. Decoupling from cloud services / apps that are dependant on GAPPS is surprisingly difficult. It felt really good to delete my account in the end.

    Congratulations! I hope to join you soon! Biggest thing blocking me ATM is YouTube. Not only do I follow some content creators but I have some videos that I want to download and host some other way. Peertube feels like a hard thing to self host.

      Yeah, I feel ya there. I may look into PeerTube myself soon. I used to be a content creator and would like to get back into it eventually. I wish you luck!

      If you need YouTube but want to avoid Google tracking then try using Piped - it’s good alternative to Invidious because it’s using proxy by default.
