Best decision of 2017 was deleting my Facebook account. I encourage everyone to do the same. Next step is getting off of Gmail / Google Services, which I also started last year by using duckduckgo full-time.
- vijayr 9y agoWhat are you replacing gmail with?
- Mc_Big_G 9y agoProbably Protonmail, but not sure yet as it's still on my todo list.

- ljf 9y agoI've been trying duckduckgo for the last month and just don't find it as good, all to often I'll be searching for a local shop, and even including my town name and it will give me America results. I really want to like it, as I feel too tied up with Google, but it's just not there yet. Still powering on though.
- skinnymuch 9y agoDoes anyone know which contact and calendar services to use? I want easy syncing with my phones and devices. Also i gave up Google search a long time ago. DDG at the time wasn’t good enough so I moved to Bing. I stuck with it through now. I do have to use Google for certain hard searches or roughly 5% of the time.
- frabcus 9y agoI'm paying for FastMail and using their calendar and contact book. On Android I had to buy CardDAV and CalDAV sync apps. They're cheap and it is a one off fee. Works well for me! I particularly like that Android (like Palm back in the day) has central calendar data. So I can still use aCalendar+ as my calendar app. And Ocado (grocery delivery) app can still add delivery slots, even though I've changed calendar provider. It's super satisfying to have all Google account syncing turned off on my phone.
