I use Linux exclusively at home. I keep my last three generations of smartphone's working and up to-date by running one form of de-googled fork of android or another, mostly based out of Europe. I don't use cloud storage, preferring to use Syncthing to keep certain folders synced between devices without uploading to a cloud server.
I keep a gmail because I've simply had it for so long, that by the time I degoogled, most financial things were using it/have it. But I switched to a couple of others as my primary and am slowly getting things transitioned over.
Both my Mastadon and my Lemmy are official .ca servers hosted in Canada (I think both from the same person/group) and they do an amazing job. So I'm not worried about losing access to that and any non-US instance that they federate with.
Does that mean that there isn't the possibility that my replacement services (mostly french and German) won't enshittify eventually too? No. Of course not. But they're open source, so it's (to me) a higher ethical standard right out of the gate because if you really wanted to be shady, you wouldn't allow thousands of people to peek into your source code, so these replacement services get the benefit of the doubt...for now.
