This realization just hit me like a ton of bricks. I thought it was ok just to go partially free, but I'm regretting this now. How hard is it really to host my own mail server, use DDG and not use facebook, which I hardly ever post on anyways? I've made a huge mistake.

You have. The NSA will be at your door soon, anon. Lock and load. Best of luck, fam.
>own mail server
depends on what you mean by "own".
buy a hosting plan with mailserver? no fuss.
set up your own server? well you're gonna need a computer to run and provide it (RasPi will be good enough). setting the server OS and mail demon isn't really that hard, you're gonna have bigger problems with actually making your server reachable via DNS can be hard, not to mention configuring it so other servers won't go all crazy "this mail is signed as [email protected], but it's actually from [email protected], it's surely a scam"
>use ddg/startpage
been doing so for the last year, sometimes the results are shitty - DDG seems to index large sites more, so when searching e.g. for a small local company, you will get yelp, facebook, company lists, and article from a newspaper first, with the official company site further away down the page - but in general, it's quite ok.
>not use facebook
don't know, never had an account, so can't tell how hard withdrawal is.

It's about time I bought a domain name anyways.

I know, I feel so stupid. Also, I have a dumbphone.

Have to have a Google account to buy anything on the Play store m8. Don't use the email, and I barely use my phone anyway outside of listening to music and contacting work.

Having a decent media player and a dumbphone for texting isn't so bad.
>>50774493
So you're literally logged into a Google account on a device that has cameras and microphones and runs Google's OS but you dare to greeentext at OP?
>>50774493
Who's going to call you anyway, might as well get a chink tablet instead.
No play store, acquire apk from third party markets.

Would you recommend DDG or Startpage?
