  • Hey, I am 23yo and I have left instagram ~5 years ago because it was such a waste of time. After school, I’ve gotten more cautious in terms of what happens with my data, but even though I was using DuckDuckGo and FF for everything, I was still hooked on YouTube and my phones stock ROM. YT is my absolute favourite Social Media platform to this date. Only a few months ago, I had a good talk with a friend of mine, who is also into privacy. He told me about how awesome LibreTube is, and showed me, the import feature of it. Since the, I only rely on Gmails servers for K9-Mail, and Google maps. (Any suggestions besides OSM?) Since 2020, my entire friend group, and my close relatives all switched to Signal, and I’ve never been happier with a messenger app. The only thing that bothers me and my privacy friend, is that we still hang out on Discord, but there’s no way, we get our friends to migrate to another service, especially because there are no good alternatives with privacy in focus.

    Since 8 months, I am running LineageOS with microG on it. When you’re a tinkerer, I can absolutely recommend microG, but I understand, that its not for everyone, especially when you rely on GPay.
