I have a complex multi household poly family with kids, so the “spousal” acceptance factor is a high bar to clear. I would like to start de googling, but I know that there is no way I’m going to convince everyone to do it all at once.
The biggest sticking point is gCal. We all have shared calendars with varying levels of privacy settings for the adults, and a shared kids calendar for doctors appointments, school events, etc. I know, we are every stereotype about poly people and google calendar.
Is there a thing that will let me move to another calendar system, that will still let me share my calendar with specific google using people, view and edit the shared kids calendar, and handle event invites, etc from everyone else? Assuming that only I move to it at first.
Oof, the email thing is also an issue. I’ve tried just moving to a different email client and all of them have performance issues when dealing with my primary account that I started a month or so after Gmail first launched.
Sounds like an export of old email into an external archive file would help with performance. How often are you accessing multiple year old emails? No need to load them up all the time.
