I’m building up to doing the same. Already using Protonmail and Kagi. Looking for a less Google-dependent phone to switch over to and then I might pull the plug myself.

I’m feeling positive, too. You can’t undo the progres made in the decentralized network space. Every loss for big tech is a win for us. I don’t hold much hope that decentralized networks are going to sweep the globe and return the internet to it’s former glory. But I do think we’ll always have a space, and that space can only get bigger.

I’ve never seen a Tankie claim that Russia, China, North Korea, etc. are good governments that are always ethical. It’s almost always a comparison between the US and these other authoritarian countries that they get stuck on.
