All the posts about not using gapps... If you don't use gmail and YouTube. What do I use?
Those people all have autism, everyone knows that google is just fine and that not using gapps just makes you a tryhard faggot.
Just use them and be a normal person.
Go gapps on your Android cripples it into pointlessness. Just use gApps.

don't use your phone for email or youtube
these things are difficult to do in a privacy-respecting way on a desktop, it's virtually impossible on a phone.

For stating facts and helping dispel a cancerous fad? Yep, sure do.

Host my own badass sendmail server on digital ocean for 5 buckaroos a month. And i don't watch youtube vids on lil' screens.
K9 mail is a great mail client and I use my ISP mail servers with my own domain
Newpipe is actually a pretty good YouTube app
>using gapps
Enjoy your permamently-on, battery draining, omnitracking, worse-than-systemd clusterfuck.
I don't need Youtube, I don't need apps that use Google Play Services (RIP Snapchat), I can always install equivalent software with F-Droid and/or Aptoide.

>gmail
I self host my email.
>YouTube
I haven't found a replacement yet but I grab files out with mpv or youtube-dl, or use a browser not signed in to the site.
I don't check email on my phone, ever. For Youtube I use NewPipe.
No longer using gapps has been a true revelation for me.

I managed to get google maps working on my friends phone (no gapps) by just installing the apk and Maps Api + µg UnifiedNlp.
