Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

So... Just like I already do today?
I suppose you didn't mean litterally just those, but many American companies.
But of the ones you listed, sure I don't really use any of them.
Tiktok? Really? Yuck. Facebook? Never have. Netflix? Do they even have anything good on anymore? Google? I haven't used their search index long time. And so on.
My email has never been a major provider.
Maybe? That's the whole point of my question (and why I also briefly shared my own usage in a comment): getting an overview of what it would change, if anything.
Indeed, I just listed the most obvious. Maybe it was also a way to trigger reactions?
Email is an interesting one. I haven't used any major provider, and I always use my own domains.
I used to just host my own.
But hosting your own email is tricky now. Getting the major providers to trust your domain is a pain in the ass.
Yes, I tried self-hosting too. Too much frustration for me. Heck even with my own domain that is hosted by a tiny but legit host, can sometimes have issue with emails not reaching their destination.
