I've been living degoogled, free of spyware, and off of big tech for years now. I'd be willing to compile a multi-level guide on how to cut out as much of the big tech spyware from your lives as possible.

Please. Also please include a dumbed down version for those who aren't as tech savvy. For example I would love to know how to degoogle an android phone but I have no idea where to start.
Btw, one super obvious way to reclaim your privacy is to use cash as much as possible. I am sure most are already doing this but I have decided to redouble my efforts this year.
I'm going to do it in three phases: Step 1 is simply replacing software or cutting services. Step 2 is more complex software shenanigans (like replacing the play store with fdroid and aurora, using a VPN, or switching to Linux). Step 3 is full balls-to-the-wall tech, including running a nextcloud instance and setting up a pihole.
Awesome! We eagerly await your instructions.
Thats difficult for me - most places have 'no cash' signs.
There is one chain store I go to that is trying to convince customers not to use cash. Claims there is a Covid related shortage. That's when my BS detector went off and reminded me to use it more.
