  • Not OP but I like to share my experience.
    I have never been entangled too much with Google, so getting away for me was more like choosing a different path from the beginning than finding my way back.
    I use Posteo for my mails. It’s one Euro a month and comes with contacts and three free calendars I can sync using DAVx5. This works perfectly. I use CoMaps for navigation and a funny old TTS engine called eSpeak. It doesn’t have traffic yet, but the EU told all members to openly share all traffic information, so I’m looking forward to that. Until then, I drive without that information, which was perfectly fine until like 7 years ago. What else? Aurora Store to get a hand full of apps from the Play Store like Signal and Banking. That’s it. You just decide to live without it and do it.

    Wenn ich ein einziges Video auf jede menschliche Netzhaut spielen könnte, dann wäre es DIESES HIER.
    Es gibt unzählige logische Gründe, die globale Tierausbeutung zu beenden. Aber wir entscheiden nicht rational sondern nach Gefühlen. Und dieses Video transportiert ohne Worte und in nur vier Minuten alles, was emotional zu unserem Umgang mit unseren Mitgeschöpfen gesagt werden muss.







  • Unsere Familie trinkt alle Eigenmarken die es so in der Nähe gibt: Aldi, Rewe, Rossmann. Alles unter 1€, die müssten eigentlich noch weniger kosten. Hafer für Kaffee oder Tee, die flockt nicht. Soja ins Müsli, weil sie mehr Nährstoffe hat.
    Oatly Batista oder ähnliches nur wenn Besuch kommt, der noch an Eutermilch gewöhnt ist.
    Zuckerfreie kaufen wir kaum, in Kuhmilch sind ja auch ca. 5g drin, da ist zumindest die Sojamilch noch drunter. Radikaler brauche ich es nicht. Und alle anderen Sorten, Mandel, Reis, Erbse halte ich persönlich für unnötig, weil ich kein Einsatzgebiet für sie habe.



  • I kinda disagree. Social media, even this very harmless version of it, is great for building opinions. But it’s not great at making stuff happen in the real world. I will never meet anyone from Lemmy. It might be comforting to write about guillotines here, posting angry articles, but we in general and especially you Americans need to leave this save zone and actually do something. Fast. With your bodies. In the real world. Show up! Being online is a trap, it makes you feel like you’re participating while it eats you time and kills your energy. Greta Thunberg stopped going to school, wrote a sign and sat down.

    Get Signal, gather some local people and do stuff.

    Edit:
    I agree it can be a challenge. Showing up and meeting a handful of people in the rain can be frustrating and disappointing. But there is no other way and these are real life experiences you will talk and bond about. Sorry for the pep talk. :)

    Edit:
    I’m not saying you should leave. I love Lemmy! Use it as a tool, not a solution. And a messenger is much more helpful to organize you locally.
