Deleting accts on services that don't respect your privacy

#1
I'm *this* close to deleting my Discord account. Discord has an unknown but probably high level partnership with Tencent. Unfortunately Discord is essentially my only point of contact with many friends at this point since I've deleted my Facebook account.

I'm actively working on getting rid of my reliance of Microsoft services such as OneDrive. I used to be deeply ingrained in the M$ ecosystem, having owned a Surface and a Windows Phone. Unfortunately running a Nextcloud isn't feasible for me. I don't trust myself to be able to keep it secure and to keep backups. Any advice would be appreciated!

I also want to delete my Google account, but that will severely hamper the usability of Android on my phone. At some point I'd like to try running Lineage OS in place of Android though.

Have any of you struggled with doing this, or have successfully taken the leap to rid yourselves of daily reliance on these companies?
