I know this isn't probably the best approach in general, but it feels like a decent compromise for my use case:
I try to use medium sized services that are based in other countries. I figure if their government has insisted on backdoors it is less directly impactful than if my government does.
I don't really have anything to hide anyway so if my assumptions/approach is wrong then worst case they find out about the concert I'm talking about going to. I grew up thinking encryption and technology were going to free us though, and have found reality to be quite the opposite -- so I try to cover my tracks out of spite I guess.
