The hardest thing people need to ween themselves off of is email, which I didn't see mentioned here at all.
Many people don't think there are viable Gmail alternatives, but on Drew DeVault's recommendation I recently switched myself over to using Migadu[1] and the experience has been fantastic.
That said, I am running CalDAV and CardDAV at home on my own hardware, but they do offer a simple version of both that should be usable.

- kmclean 6y agoI use Protonmail (with a custom domain) for email, so I didn't include anything about that here. It's possible to do with Nextcloud, too (and maybe I should look into it now that I have this.. would probably be cheaper), but seems like a bit more work to set up your own mail server. Several people have recommended mailinabox to me.
- thombles 6y agoTake care with Migadu if you use mailing lists. I troubleshooted some issues with bounces earlier this year and both users in question were using Migadu - they had ended up with the unusually strict "p=reject" DMARC policy. Every time they sent an email to the list I was on, my account would (correctly) trigger a bounce and after several of these incidents _my_ subscription would be removed from the mailing list for too many bounces. I'm not even sure whose fault this situation is, but it's something to keep in mind.
