Ach I've tried really hard to de-google. I've been on linux for a year+, moved blog from blogger to noblogs (huge job), moved hosting to Canadian, and switched emails to a small Italian antifascist provider and my own domain. Slowly realizing that many people's and institutions' systems only recognise gmail or hotmail emails. Mine is always going to spam. 😭 SO intensely frustrating!!!

@emilyvanartist@mastodon.social FWIW I haven't had any email issues with posteo.de or protonmail.com.

@emilyvanartist@mastodon.social For DeGoogling, I found that alternatives to Google Maps were really lacking in the Vancouver area so I started contributing to OpenStreetMap. I feel that it is pretty good for routing (car, bike, pedestrian) but I am working on improving business listings.
