It’s not paranoia if it’s true

Same — I never used Reddit but I found out about Lemmy from a Content Creator I enjoy. Seemed cool, a few privacy policies later and I’m here. The more I read about Reddit the more I’m glad I never used it.

Makes sense for a corpo like Google, ditch it and use Odysee or use another client like FreeTube or Piped. Piped doesn’t like my connecting via Tor but’s that’s alright I guess.

Before I yap, I recommend ASAP to determine your threat modeling and how much convenience you want to sacrifice for your OpSec. Using Google and YouTube and other corporations is valid, and using only Tor & I2P connecting to privacy friendly services is valid too. Use email aliasing, addy & simplelogin are good but duck.com works also. It’s drastically better for your OpSec (operations security), and in case of a data breach, it’s also best to have that random email alias that forwards to your Proton. I also like Tutamail, no IMAP/SMTP because of the encryption but it’s really nice and the guys behind it are cool. Using ProtonVPN/RiseupVPN for speed is good, but Orbot and Tor is best for your OpSec. Also, don’t forget Odysee! If your favorite YouTubers are on Odysee, which mine are, use it! FreeTube is cool, too.

I HIGHLY recommend privacyguides.org for getting into degoogling and improving your privacy and OpSec, and good luck! :3

I would add SimpleX, Session, Threema, and Signal. Telegram sucks, and while I love the stickers, it sucks. As the other person said, Stremio is torrenting, which puts your IP address on as billboard. Don’t do it without a VPN or running it through Tor or I2P. I would add every Proton/Tuta product as an alternative to one of the 3000 Google products, like Gmail and Drive. However, I will ALWAYS recommend privacyguides.org ;3
