I don't directly use any Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta or Amazon products and don't have accounts for any of these. I have one (almost always) off-line Mac used solely for music production, and I realise some web services I occasionally use will be hosted on Azure or Amazon or possible use Google services behind the scenes.
All my computers run Linux. I flashed my Android phone with LineageOS as soon as I bought it to remove all direct Google dependencies. My browser of choice is Firefox, I use Open Office and a raft of open source software alternatives including utilities I've written myself.
For news I have RSS feeds which, yes, will sometimes take me to Reddit and YCombinator. But I'm also active on Mastodon and other ActivityPub apps; that sector is growing steadily in both user numbers and software maturity.
