People leaving Google struggle to untangle accounts and workflows
People switching away from Google find that their email, files, logins, and other workflows are tied together across services. The move can mean more than transferring data: they also need to work out which accounts and habits depend on Google and handle each one. A focused migration guide could help coordinate that work, though it would not be able to automate every third-party account change.
For privacy-conscious people leaving Google. Mentioned from Feb 2025 to Jun 2026 on Bluesky.

Migrating off of Google has been the biggest pain in the ass, but I've been enjoying the process. I didn't realize how entangled I've been for so long. Gmail, maps, search, etc
Biggest pain was decoupling my logins from Gmail and all the Google Drive stuff
