Now that so many of your friends are finally leaving #whatsapp behind it might be a good idea to send them my anti #GAFAM article to get them to leave other evil services:

Flyers
"*Fed up?* Join the Fediverse."
Fed up with Facebook and Twitter dictating what you can and can't say online? Then join the Fediverse, the decentralised social media system that they've been hiding from you for years.
The word Fediverse is a portmanteau of…"
See the new logo design we published for Fediverse yesterday morning.
Add Cloudglare to your list if you like, they seem to be training drones with #hCaptcha.
@dsfgs Flyers are a great idea. I've been meaning to create flyers and/or stickers for a long time.
Where can I find that logo and do you have a link to Cloudglare?
@PaulaToThePeople @dsfgs I believe "Cloudglare" is dsfgs's deliberate misspelling of #CloudFlare, which is the elephant in the room that your otherwise comprehensive article neglects while actually referring users to #NoMoreGoogle, a CF site that should be avoided.
@dsfgs @PaulaToThePeople You propose #Yalp as a Playstore app compromise. The fake acct still keeps track of all your installations, and if Orbot is not in the loop #Google links your fake acct to your real acct.
@resist1984 Well obviously you're not supposed to have a real Google account.
@PaulaToThePeople #Google tracks everything. Even without an acct, Google sees your IP address in all activity that touches a Google asset. So the fake accounts get associated together and also associated with logged out activity. If you start using Google Play app then switch to #Yalp, Google already has your IMEI# from the 1st use, and that number is part of the dataset.
It is still possible on a phone with stock-android to skip making an account at first start and use aurora/yalp instead. Maybe that's a solution to your problem?
With play-services I guess they still track a lot.
But: In my opinion every step counts and some is better than nothing. And even if you don't want to change os you can deactivate all google stuff I guess, all relevant stuff works for me without google services, so it should work on stock-android too.
Sorry for bad english. So it sounds sometimes rude.
@huodong @PaulaToThePeople Indeed but privacy is like virginity- once you lose it you can't have it back. I always degoogle an Android phone as a 1st step, but Paula's audience would largely include those whose phones are already compromized.
