Migrating away from Google is damn hard, when alternative email providers are crap about spam and phishing filtering, alternative Maps applications fail searching location names, and alternative office apps are slow and buggy.

#DeGoogle@osma Recommend trying MXRoute. My experiences here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gsuitelegacymigration/comments/t7d0tr/lessons_learned_two_weeks_after_moving_my_family/

Thanks for recommendation. Looks fine otherwise, but I will not be using an American service.

#DeGoogle@osma Yes, map seems hard for me as well, but email? I never had an google mail so maybe I don't know what I am missing, but I never had a problem with the alternatives ...
I'm using "Posteo". -

I'm using "Posteo".Gmail is very good. The label mechanism works well especially wrt archiving messages, the spam filtering is top tier, the apps are quite good and so on. Its only problem is that it's by Google. Anyway, I have tested many other providers and none have come close.

#DeGoogle@osma Magic Earth has been pretty good for me as a google maps alternative, especially for transit. their privacy policy is good, and you can use the maps offline. they have headquarters in Amsterdam. (not FOSS, but nothing's perfect)
note that, like every other service i have used *except* google maps, it still has some outdated POIs, so a search may show locations that are permanently closed, etc. sadly i still use google maps in a private browser window, first, to figure out such info.

Thanks for recommendation, I haven't seen that one before. So far, I've been very disappointed in the usability of both OrganicMaps and OsmAnd, two apps that many have recommended.

#DeGoogleDon't @ me defending bad usability. There's no excuse for bad usability, not when good examples have been widely known for well over a decade.

@kasimirosma@mas.to hi, have you tried FastMail? It's the one I use that is pretty nice. I am not sure if they're an American company however.
On the search front I have heard good things about Kagi paid search (apparently blows DDG out of the water?)
