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 :)

Unfortunately a lot of apps are not on the FDroid stores which is why people, me included, rely on other stores.
I always look at FDroid first but sometimes (hopefully less and less) the only apps (typically commercial ones, e.g. banking) are elsewhere.
Use the websites whenever possible, instead of having to download another app, especially a commercial closed source one.
Indeed, honestly most apps should just be URLs.
My bank website would not let me do everything that the app would let me do, so I switched banks.
I hope you left feedback about this specific issue when leaving.
Nice, hopefully they are aware that former clients are moving away from them because they don't find their solution appropriate. I should do the same.
