Who has moved to Librem One?
What services did you ditch?
Did you bring friends or family? 😀

@purism I proverbially put my feet in the pool but didn't swim yet.
After I get the Librem 5 in my hand I may pay for the subscription, but I'm doing a lot of the things on my own now. I think the VPN "Librem Tunnel" might be the most valuable to me because I just VPN off my own router as of now; not really anonymizing myself with that.
The Riot client "Librem Chat" is fun so far, but I can't get my head around how it's useful on a permanent basis yet. It seems like it should be a public place to meet with a bunch of people for a single purpose, then everybody leaves after. As of now, it seems a bit like drinking from the fire hose the way I experienced it so far. The Rooms that I have joined seem to have content go so fast that I can't keep up and leaves me with a feeling of missing something important or reading a lot of things I don't need to know about. I have been wanting to see what's up with [matrix] and Riot for over a year now, so I'm dabbling with this part happily.
The Mastodon part "Librem Social" I'm not too into because I already have 3 Mastodon accounts and two Frinedica profiles. It's like a real solution would be an aggregator interface program that would manage their (any Federated/ActivityPub type service) content and interactions instead of another splitter service dividing my screen time with another thing to sign in and out of.
The eMail thing is a gem, but since a couple of years ago, I do my own eMail all on my personal server so it's moot for me.

@wnymathguy thank you Michael. Matrix shines when you get your other contacts on to it, like WhatsApp but federated, private and secure.
Great to hear you got your own email setup, nice one!
