I saw this coming, with no easy way to cancel the monthly subscription and decided to pay with a prepaid credit card instead…glad I did, it saved me from getting robbed.

Well that’s cool:). Remove the profit motive/surplus goes a long way to slow down evil.
Sayboard on fdroid is an option as well https://f-droid.org/packages/com.elishaazaria.sayboard/
Because Americans are obsessed with iphones, as a status symbol and “American” product and it’s a default…no effort required.
+1 for yunohost, the best hands down!
Bad example on my part;)
Bucky was right once again with his theory of “Ephemeralization” https://dbpedia.org/page/Ephemeralization … The only reason we’re concerned with these companies employing Devs and spending Billions to do what small teams of FOSS are able to achieve is simply a bad economic system that requires “make work” or Bullshit jobs for wages to feed the parasite class, instead of us living like the Jetson’s. Time to move one!
Time for #abode , I want to believe ;)

Your emails are already scanned by Gmail at that point, so you’re defeating the purpose
Sounds great, the more options users have the better, I say!

One easy way to start is not by doing it all at once. Start by avoiding the Playstore and using fdroid instead. On your main OS replace proprietary software with foss alternatives. Once you get comfortable with that, THEN you can make the next steps. It doesn’t have to happen overnight, but you’ll be heading in the right direction:)
Of course this is true, but moving to a privacy respecting OS, like linux or buying a phone w a custom ROM installed goes a long, long way to improving the situation.
Fluffy chat is by far the easiest as it behaves more like an Instant Messenger with less focus on groups which is what makes element confusing. There’s also much easier key handling and verification across devices. For anyone using a mainstream app like WhatsApp, element is a mess…confusing as hell.
Well regardless, the world needs alternatives that are outside of restrictive US patent law and large monopolistic control. Thank god for pioneers:)
