1. Dont use webmail, the purpose of a browser is to execute foreign code of unnown sources -> they can serve you any website they would like
2. dont use Email, it’s all plain text on the servers (unless you insist on using pgp, yet still a lot of metadata is plain text)
3. dont use centralised communication ie. Signal. You’re creating societal habits that wont be easily changeable if you start to distrust them. Matrix and IRC etc. dont need a phone either

Simple fix, just don’t join big instances, create new communities on small instances and self-host. If everybody does so, nobody has an interest into coercing users in a hermetic system, because they have far more to loose through possible defederation

This ! Also, I’m kind of disappointed how many of my peers just waited for the #reddit #blackout to pass, so they can go back to buissness as usual. Supringsingly, to me, there are a lot of people who enjoy corponet just fine.
