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
Tbh I am done with reddit as a whole, back then a lot of mods were power tripping, but now most of them are. You can't say anything, do anything, it would be better for them if no one would even visit their communities.
This is completely unsurprising tbh. A lot of the old mods were enthusiasts who grew a community from scratch due to their love for the subject. In the reddit API shutdown, a lot of those mods left in disgust, or were replaced by the reddit admins, or were driven off by the leftover toxic userbase calling them "entitled jannies" or whatever. A lot of the mods who took over their place were just power-hungry users who were chomping at the bit to get the chance to run a big community as their personal fiefdom because they were too toxic to grow one themselves.
This is the inevitable culmination of these events.
Anyway, welcome to lemmy. We become more powerful from every user who writes off reddit forever.
PS: if you see power-trippin' behaviour around these parts, you can always post about it in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Yeah, that sounds right. Well at least I am happy that I was checking lemmy year ago and now I decided to finally try it.
Also thanks for advice :D
