    I’m one of the many recent immigrants from reddit so I guess that’s my start to alternatives.

    I don’t think I can walk away from many of the American tech services I use, but what I have done is reviewed what I use, change what I can and walk away from what I can. I’ve curtailed my optional spend on American companies, goods, and services. We can all do that at least.

      Same here. I’m cutting things out and slowly switching to alternatives where I can.

      Individually dropping these products and services won’t do much in isolation but as we’re seeing with Tesla, there is power as a group.

      Next on my list is the Google suite. I use docs and sheets a ton for Uni work and home/hobby stuff.

            Awesome.

            In the appearance settings (I think the first point, I just don’t know what it’s called in English) you can change it from top + sidebar style to just tiles on top, resembling Microsoft office’s user interface. Makes it easier to transition.
