I avoid expressing strong opinions too publicly online, in English, because that's how I can get harassed/doxxed.
I avoid mainstream social media as much as possible.
I nuked my Google account many years ago.
I have LineageOS on my phone, with microG installed, so that I don't need Google Play.
I pay for a mailbox.org mail address. The SMTP server is set to encrypt all incoming emails with my GPG key so that it is at least encrypted at rest. I used to use Protonmail, but got annoyed with their whole "fuck internet protocols let's reinvent the wheel". It's on my own domain so I can change providers at any time.
I have ad blockers installed everywhere, and hosts files filled with blocklists, even on my old Windows 2000/XP systems.
I use Nebulo to block ads on Android apps (for some reason the official repo is down, you can go look at this GitHub mirror instead).
I use pass as my password manager.
My GitHub account is solely for contributing to other projects, I have my repos on Tildegit.org, so that the code isn't used to train AI or stuff like that.

Not putting my full name on the internet I think, maybe that's a little overly cautious but it feels better to me

i put my credit card and social insirance number online so that someone trustworthy will protect it for me!

Unfortunately I'm pretty lazy in that regard and should be better about it. Atm it's just not sharing personal information, adblock, unique pws per account, 2fa if available.

Probly gunna try to implement some of the things I'm seeing from the other answers here.

I have my own nextcloud instance and get email hosting from a small-ish provider, but those are more out of a desire for powerful features than privacy

I need at least new search engine and a new keyboard on Android (that has Cangjie and Jyutping as input methods, so pretty tricky; I use Trime on my keyboard phone but it's janky)

adblockers, cookie deletion, anti tracking browser extension, disable javascript if the website will function without it, never posting anything i wouldn’t want the government to read, not sharing personal info (like my address, real name, etc)

I use Tor, I2P, Freenet, and Signal, as well as uBlock Origin and Decentraleyes. I also use Riseup and Protonmail, and . What else can I do to help?

I do not! There is no need for me to do so, anyway. I have already said so much about me and my location, it is pointless!

Alias. Aliases upon aliases. Aliases for aliases. Pretty sure next to no one knows my state (IDC about saying I live in the USA). Too many aliases to count.
