Fediversians. I just spent three weeks blogging EVERY SINGLE NIGHT to give you a COMPLETE list of instructions to RECLAIM YOUR DATA. Go dark, scatter your traces, stay secure, erase your data footprint. Accessible to all.
Just in time too. Data sovereignty and protection are no longer a luxury but a MUST.
Data traces are political traces. History teaches us that data by you and about you can and will be used against you and those you love.
For you, your neighbors, your families. #optout NOW, and help others to do so too.

Just to add to the "Personal Photos" section. I bought a Pi 4 with a touch screen for $125. I connected a 4TB WD drive to it and installed PhotoPrism.
On my phone, I deleted Google Photos & installed an open source Gallery app and paid $5 (one time) for PhotoSync.
Now I can take photos and videos, auto sync them to my personal drive and have a self-hosted Google Photo-like experience while on-the-go.
Carbonite encrypts and backs up my photos for redundancy.
@BoomlandJenkins Nice idea! We also serve our own photos and have used many Pi's to great effect around our home as mini servers of various kinds.We call it digital homesteading.
Please note this is written as a Beginners' Guide, an instructional course that stages newcomers in to privacy practices and ideas. My metric is, would my mom do this or not, or would she be freaked out and decide she can't do anything about it. My hope is after doing the cleanse, people will increasingly feel up to this level and develop the skills and confidence they need. That's what the "Advanced Moves" are for.
