You can stop using all Google products. Now I understand their market share on the web means they’re going to continue to shape the web.
But make no mistake. There is something, however small, that you can do. De-Google.
I will help hand hold anyone who wants to build servers or services (to the best of my ability) to replace Google services with their own.
Got any advice on alternatives to Drive? I keep considering nextcloud, but people I know have said it's a resource hog and finicky at best.
If you're looking to self-host, nextcloud is the way go. But if you're just looking for a drive alternative, there's plenty of simpler alternatives, like proton or kdrive.
