Biggest thing would be migrating to the Fediverse for Reddit / Twitter, and deleting every big tech account I had.

I’ve also migrated pretty much everything other than email (since big tech prevents you hosting your own) to my homelab. Gives me stuff to tinker with and it’s nice knowing my data is fully private, at least until HTTPS is broken by quantum computers.
