Linguist Gone Foreign 🌏@linguistgoneforeign@mastodon.social

PhD linguist, serial migrant and curious mind ✨ Currently docked in BÀrlin 🐻

I doodle big-headed cartoons in my spare time and toot mostly in EN, ES and DE about languages, cross-cultural mishaps, life abroad and whatever keeps me awake at night. πŸ’­

This is an inclusive space.
Make yourself at home! β˜•οΈ

Linguist Gone Foreign 🌏@linguistgoneforeign@mastodon.social (2026-05-12 02:12:05) I'm very happy to see how my 3-year journey replacing big tech with privacy-oriented, humane platforms is shaping:

Gmail: Tuta and Proton

Google Calendar: Fossify

Google Maps: Organic Maps

Twitter: Mastodon

Facebook, Instagram: Pixelfed

WhatsApp, Telegram: Signal

Android: GrapheneOS

Windows: Linux Mint

It was overwhelming, it took time and research. But I can tell you that another digital experience is possible.

Now I'm thrilled to have devices that belong to ME, like in the old days.
