The first time I tried to break the cycle with Google was for NYE 2011, but Gmail was impossible to get rid of at the time. The last redesign has meant that I literally more than prefer Thunderbird nowadays, and it's no longer considered weird to not want e-mail/Facebook/etc on your phone, so I'm aiming to dump Gmail for real for 2020. Since they killed off so many services pretty much the only thing else that I use is Google Cloud. Current plan is - Disposable account for my phone until I replace it a new phone that has no identifying marks shared with the old account. Probably create a new disposable account for the replacement phone and disable sync - Otherwise unused Gmail account to own the gcloud stuff - Delete my domain, move e-mail to pretty much doesn't matter any more, I'm back to where the only thing I actually need is POP3. It's insane that somehow this happened but it did. It's 1998 all over again
