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
As someone who formerly modded on reddit for over a decade; I do know what trips the alerts typically. The steps I give are important to establish a fresh account with nothing an idle internet sleuth can link back to you; as well as preventing Mod(Bots) from detecting you. Reddit Automoderator has 'Admin eyes'...even if it lacks the permissions to act like one. It can, and will use algorithms on those eyes to assess your 'threat level'. Knowing the trajectory of reddit when I quit; it probably uses AI now. Before it was a dumb blackbox of algorithmic rules the Admins never really made fully clear about how it worked. This dumb blackbox made frequent mistakes.
May I ask why you are a "former" moderator?
If you have to ask that; you really must have been living under a rock for the past 3-5 years.
