I ditched my Google account a while ago. That was tricky because I used it to log in to several websites.
I fortunately also got rid of Facebook a while ago. This gave me a lot more time back. It's difficult at first, because there's a little fomo, but now I am very happy.
I never started with all the other social media. No Instagram, no Twitter. So that makes it easy.
My computers have always run Linux, very happy with that.
Streaming services are next. At least the US ones.
Replacing whatsapp with signal also. I noticed a lot of my contacts are already in there, just not actively using it. It's a question of just starting communications and groups there.
It's quite doable, but you have to really want to "vote with your wallet" so to speak. I think it's a worthwhile sacrifice. In fact, it rids you of psychological warfare, reduces anxiety, costs less money and gives you your time back.
If you think about it that way, it's a no brainer.
