I used to be all in with Google. After being burned over and over again, I’ve nearly entirely exited their ecosystem with some exceptions. I just don’t trust them anymore to maintain their products for the long haul.

Yeah I moved to Apple last year.

The garden walls may be higher but at least I don’t have to worry about the plants being chopped down.

Also I’m excited because there might actually be some resale value for my devices for once in my life.

I used to be a huge google supporter, and I'll still take android every single day over an iPhone... but other than that google could go burn for all I care.

I'd like to exit Google, but Gmail makes this oh so hard. I've been using Gmail since over 20 years, basically my life is on that service. How did you migrate off Gmail?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Just... export the emails and most systems will have a way to import old emails.

Hell for work I'm in the middle of migrating emails sent on a platform, logged on a secondary platform but stored on a third, to a fourth platform via CSV only.

There are ways to forwards all your emails into a new email address i think. Google it.
