There has been a lot of teeth-gnashing and angst over the fall of #twitter, but from some of the latest news, I think we will have to start thinking about a much bigger problem: the fall of #Google.
@FlockOfCats I search exclusively on DuckDuckGo now. Moved my personal domain from Google workspaces to ICloud custom domain… all of 20 min to do it. Still have and use a Gmail account but access it via Outlook, both desktop and mobile apps.
@FlockOfCats I've been using a super basic Zoho plan for a while. It's $35/year. Since it's for my domain, I can set up extra mailboxes, etc... basically all the stuff I used to do by hand 😅
@NakjiKiss3 google proposed a bunch of sketchy changes for Chrome (basically, DRM for the web to prevent adblocking) and, in my opinion, showing way too many YouTube ads and enshittifying their search.
@FlockOfCats Depends on how much you rely? Mail, easy to move. Docs, a bit harder, especially that everything else online sucks. search, alternatives exist, youtube: biggest problem, there is none.
@gullevek maybe I’m not typical, but I’m finding it hard to replace 2 users, 2 email addresses, and at least 100 GB of storage total in a way that is simple and not crazy expensive
@gullevek I would love to just self host a mail/cloud storage solution, but my understanding is that self-hosted mail doesn’t get delivered. I would love to be wrong and hear any tips for solving the #google problem quickly and easily.
(If it’s not clear, I have to deal with two users. One is not tech savvy)
@FlockOfCats@gullevek yo tengo correo selfhosted. Al principio fue un fastidio pero ahora funciona, tras mucho estudiar lo de dkim y otras cosas para que google escuche.
