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 :)

Make your lemmy accounts through lemmy.org because it doesn't require an email. Use a VPN (lemmy.org is fine with that). Use an anti-fingerprinting browser or TOR and be careful not to add extensions that will make you uniquely identifiable. Maybe check out Mullvad Browser or Librewolf? They both have letter-boxing options that will keep your screen at a standardized resolution so you can't be fingerprinted easily that way.
Honestly, depending on how oppressive and competent the regime you live under is, it could be too much to do this safely. I don't know where you're posting from so I don't want to give you any false sense that you can do the above options and be free and clear.
EDIT: Also don't sign into things on your TOR browser that you sign into on other browsers. Keep it as an entirely separate identity.
And don't have two browsers open on the same site and move your mouse from one to the other. There's a lot of little things that very driven people can do to find ways to identify you...
Also regularly delete and make a new social media account.
And switch your VPN location around.
And use a VPN that doesn't keep logs and isn't inside your nation.
And don't respond to me, this account is gone.
