• Ditch proprietary platforms for communication (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok WhatsApp, LINE, Discord, Telegram). Consider XMPP with OMEMO, Matrix, IRC, Mastodon, Discourse, etc.
• Ditch proprietary code forges (GitHub) and offer at a minimum an email to send patches for folks not interested in creating accounts on your platform.
• Enable 2FA, and email support and bitch when SMS and TOTP is only supported through a proprietary app. Buy a hardware token if you can afford it and it's not a massive inconvenience (and message support to add that too).
• When meeting new contacts, share a VCF file so we don't end up in a situation where the only way to contact you is a closed platform that now imploded (Twitter) where email is the lowest common denominator
• Add or reenable your Atom/RSS feed for your content. Consider following others to break out of algorithms.
Bonus:
• Give Linux an honest go this year (or BSD, OpenIndiana, or other 'weird' FOSS option)
