I’ve been sifting through my digital footprint for a while now and I’m getting to my old accounts that I’ve mostly forgotten about. I thought it would be fun if we shared what we delete, you just might jog someone else’s memory of an account they still have floating around.
Today: -Amazon -PayPal -Ubisoft
Done:
Windows -> Ubuntu (but that was long time ago)
Google Translate -> Deepl
Google Maps -> Mapy.com
Reddit -> Lemmy (thinking about somehow to switch to Piefed)
Stocard / Klarna -> Catima
Google photos -> Synology photos
In progress:
Gmail -> Mailbox.org
Tried but failed:
Facebook -> Friendica (not enough people, many important communities on Facebook)
Messenger -> Signal / Matrix / whatever (not enough people)
Android -> whatever (no sensible alternative)
“Android -> whatever (no sensible alternative)”
Are you familiar with Jolla / Sailfish OS? Im not either, but still my next phone will be one of theirs as soon as this one breaks :D
I heard about them and I’d like to give it a try. But from what I heard, I’m afraid I couldn’t use it as my “daily driver”. Banking apps very probably won’t work, nor my country government apps. Also Facebook + Messenger are unfortunately very important where I live. MS Teams + Outlook would also be nice to have for my job.
But the truth is, I’ve never tried Jolla (nor I know anyone who owns one) so I’m not sure how accurate my view is. Maybe those things are possible to run now, I really don’t know
i think all those things work but banking apps do require some finagling and you should buy a well-supported phone for a good experience
disclaimer: i haven’t tried banking apps but have just read others’ experience with them
