Here is my list, 15 out of 17 (while 2 are not applicable because I don't use anything like that):
I'm not sure if DuckDuckGo and TMap count because they're both just alternatives but still from big tech.
Which mail provider are you using?

Hmm, I wonder...does "my favourite pirate streaming service" count as avoiding big tech?
I just tried Stremio and found it to be hot garbage. I'll stick with torrents/Jellyfin.
Droid-fy is a material F-Droid client though. And it is better. DuckDuckGo is USA using Bing engine, i am still using it when unhappy with Qwant results though. They need to add more time filters.
Completely agree, but I just swapped over to Obtainium and getting releases directly from Github. Highly recommend.
I used it only for apps that are not in any store. Pretty handy.
Never heard of Droid-fy, will check it out.
Actually this might make for a fun propaganda game: Set up a website where every person can mark, for each item on the list, whether they made the switch, so that in the end they receive a picture they can share on social media so as to engage in a low-key "competition" with their friends.
