A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

MODERATORS
Ones like Lemmy fit in fine to my threat model. They enable me to use privacy tools up-to-and-including Tor routing, without a phone number or other personally identifying info (you can't do those with many other social media platforms). I can use the Fediverse pseudonymously, and if I ever want to, anonymously.
I'm not hiding this conversation from you, but I am hiding my identity from companies.
Ah yea reddit seems to hate TOR.
Not to mention that most subreddits have a soft ban on new accounts. Extremely infuriating.
Lemmy seems so welcoming to TOR users, I mean I had to fill out an "application" but I just used a temp email. Lovely place, hidden behind anonymity, well kind of... as long as the NSA doesnt suddenly spend the entire US budget hunting me, I'd be anonymous. They got bigger fishes to catch.
