Instead of google forms, I use Framaforms. It is only available in French, which unfortunately I don't speak, but that does not stop me from regularly using it. B-)
Finally, I recommend you to spread/share your desire, successes and difficulties (both online and offline) of getting free from Google and #GAFAM ( #Google, #Apple, #Facebook, #Amazon, #Microsoft) in general.
I almost did it. well, I still use gmail, but it can be easily switched to my local email server. it works fine, just I use gmail to avoid publishing local mail. I still use youtube, because javascript is not something I want to have on my server and I don't want to host gigabytes of video and stream them from paid VS. I can add some search engines: https://www.ecosia.org/ https://lite.qwant.com/ but I must add google searches a way better than all other search engines all together. this is just the fact. so sometimes I have to use google, anyway.
I usually search for very specific programming questions and no search engines usually find anything. and I don't use docker. I compile the whole system from sources and there's no python, or java or rust. so I'm very picky about the software, if searx written in C/C++ and can be built from sources, I'm ready to try it.
Riot (Matrix) for a more complete chat and collaboration platform/protocol. Mastodon instead of Twitter. Funkwhale instead of Spotify. PINE64 hardware such as PinePhone and PineBook Pro. BitWarden, KeePassXC or Password Store instead of 1Password. Etc.
Thanks, a very wide range of options here 😍. And in the case of Android alternatives, what about LineageOS? And also, last time I checked, Yalp wasn't working but Aurora is 😁.
