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 :)

The trick is not to go too extreme too quickly. It has to be a gradual transition to using privacy-respecting products, or else you'll burn out.
I started by switching from Windows 10 to Linux, then using ProtonMail instead of Gmail, then Lemmy instead of Reddit. I'm slowly transitioning to other services and software that respect my privacy.
Look at it as a journey.
I needed to hear that. Getting off Amazon, Facebook, Instgram, and no Paypal was probably the easiest part.
