Those all list FLOSS alternatives to the services out there. Maybe one or two things needs self-hosting but ProtonMail now has ProtonCalendar, Tutanota is coming out with a calendar too, files can be synced with Syncthing, and so on and so forth.
Of course, it's nice to donate if you have money, but it's not mandatory and that's better than the alternatives.
Don't use Google (except maybe Android, but there are ROMs), Apple, Facebook (yes, that includes Whatsapp), Microsoft and you're already most of the way there.
- Mordisquitos 5y ago> It does? Maybe technical expertise, but money? Even given enough technical expertise, there is still a need for time and effort, plus acceptance of the minor risk of unjustified lack of support from mainstream services (e.g. government apps refusing to work in custom ROMs). While the investment in time, effort and risk does not require being anything close to wealthy, it does need some level of financial stability.
