I did it. I freed myself from Big Tech. Amazon, Apple, Automattic, Cloudflare (mostly), Google, Meta, Microsoft, Twitter. All out of my life.

The last big hurdle was my phone, which I fixed today by flashing Sailfish OS to a Sony Xperia 10iii. It works like a dream.

The only site I can't replace that still uses Cloudflare is my bank's website. I don't want to replace my bank, so I'll make that compromise.

But I'm done finding new alternatives and transferring accounts. I'm just...done with Big Tech. Feels great.

Everytime i hear that someone has left behind the shackles of Big Tech i dream about the possibillity that things can change. Perhaps, with the current political climate, there is a chance...

Good to hear! Nothing is as bad as a f**king Google phone with stock rom. They spy on you since the first time you start the device. Good riddance.

Well done! It takes both courage and effort to do what you have done.
