For *non-technical people* trying to de-Google, what are some good Google product alternatives that you don't have to self-host?

I'll start with Ente, which is a pretty good replacement for Google Photos, and Fastmail, which is a good replacement for Gmail and Calendar.

@jcrabapple carnet for note taking, tasks.org for tasks & reminders, etar with davx5 sync for calendar & contacts, proton mail..

@dyedbird Good recommendations for people on fedi, but even some of that is a bit difficult for non-technical people.

@jcrabapple true I have started degoogling on mobile 2-3 years ago. It takes research and persistence but for non technical people I'd recommend buying a device flashed with e/OS or iodeOS and slowly starting with a second device...
