I started a 5-week degoogle challenge Signal group.
The group is free…and already has 45 members ready to go next week when we officially start! We’ll follow the checklist here. It will be a casual group for accountability and support.
I can help based on my experiences, we can all support each other, and we have at least 1-2 advanced techie people who can answer more complicated questions.
Please join, and tell your friends! Next week I’ll post an official welcome and resources…and we’ll get started.
If it goes well, I can either start another one and/move to de-Amazon, Meta, Apple, whatever.
(Also, if anyone wants to repost this in r/privacy on Reddit, please do! I apparently don’t have enough karma to post there.)
Hmm, the order of those steps is a little weird. I would expect disabling ad tracking and such to be first. I also think it’s odd that SMS wasn’t mentioned, is this an iPhone guide?
Agreed. Week 2, switching browser and search is a couple steps and seems like a good on-ramp to build momentum. Week 1, switching email and calendar is several steps per step and requires some consideration and even paying into a new service.
