I

recommend not using Google for communication. Set up your own XMPP
server, or use DuckDuckGo[0] or the Free Software Foundation[1] for your
XMPP needs.

I
use a combination of Riseup[1] (for mail and XMPP), a public instance of Friendica[2] (for social networking), and Owncloud[3] (for file sharing and contact management). Unfortunately, the first and third are invite-only. I was lucky enough to get the invites, but most others can't. And since most people (myself included) have zero budget for a server, a donation-funded site that offers at least the services above is urgent, perhaps to the point of being in the FSF's critical list.
