    Here is my list, 15 out of 17 (while 2 are not applicable because I don’t use anything like that):

    I’m not sure if DuckDuckGo and TMap count because they’re both just alternatives but still from big tech.

      Droid-fy is a material F-Droid client though. And it is better. DuckDuckGo is USA using Bing engine, i am still using it when unhappy with Qwant results though. They need to add more time filters.

        Completely agree, but I just swapped over to Obtainium and getting releases directly from Github. Highly recommend.

      Hmm, I wonder…does “my favourite pirate streaming service” count as avoiding big tech?

          You didn’t try it right then. Stremio by itself is useless. You need to get add-ons like Torrentio and have a debrid service like TorBox to make best use of it. While not ideal, it’s better than paying hundreds for multiple streaming services/cable/satellite etc.

      Actually this might make for a fun propaganda game: Set up a website where every person can mark, for each item on the list, whether they made the switch, so that in the end they receive a picture they can share on social media so as to engage in a low-key “competition” with their friends.
