<ol>
<li><em>Identifying products and services we use</em></li>
<li>Finding/Offering alternatives</li>
<li>Moving to alternatives and helping my family to move as well</li>
</ol>
<p>I will make a list of services I use or used in the past but didn't delete my account. For each service, I will look for alternatives, move my data to alternatives or deploy an instance of alternative on my server. I will use the alternatives for a while and learn more about how to use them properly. This way I will be able to help my family have a smooth transition. </p>
<hr>
<p>Here is my list. This list may be different for you, therefore you should make your own list.<br>
This list may get longer as I remember services I subscribed to but didn't use in a while.</p>
<ol>
<li>Gmail</li>
<li>Google Drive</li>
<li>Google Photos</li>
<li>Google Contacts</li>
<li>Google Search</li>
<li>Facebook</li>
<li>Instagram</li>
<li>WhatsApp</li>
<li>WhatsApp (Voice/Video Call)</li>
<li>Zoom</li>
<li>Windows OS</li>
<li>Stock Android ROM (due to embedded Google services)</li>
<li>Mi account (because I used MIUI Android ROM)</li>
<li>...</li>
<li>Note to self: Check archieved emails to find services you stopped using and request account deletion</li>
</ol>
<hr>
<p>Now I have a "list of service to opt-out from" to help me focus better. That being said, I started to de-google a while ago and replaced Gmail with Protonmail already. If you think Google is privacy friendly and no need to avoid Google services, <a href="https://tosdr.org/#google">here is why I decided to de-google</a>.
I will start with looking for alternatives to Google Drive.</p>
<p>If there is any other service you think I should stay away from, you can write to comment toot.<br>
If you have written a blog post as an answer, mention that too.<br>
If you think some of the services or softwares I mentioned here aren't that bad and I would be better of keep using them, please share why you think so. I want to keep an open mind and look at those services from your perspective too.</p>
