Ive paid for private email hosting for years now, and run a bunch of services on a pi now. Google is almost completely out of my life, and my fb has been deactivated for years. I'm not kicking any corporate walls down, but it feels good to be the change I want to see. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I honestly think that's what we can do: start to build free, parallel structures and attract folks to join us. We can't outspend Google but we can opt out of their ecosystem to some degree or another both collectively and individually.
