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
Dude I'm not interested in going scorched earth on one of the most useful repositories of practical information and discussion, and I'm disturbed that you're so zealous to do so.
For fucking real. If I ever come across a niche question about some obscure router setting and the only answer on the internet was some comment in a ten year old Reddit post and the comment says "DELETED BY SUCH AND SUCH APP - fuck u/spez" I'm gonna cry.
"This post has been moved to Lemmy at url xxyyzz, fuck spez" would keep the info around, if that makes you feel better.
That should be the only way, but I seriously doubt that Reddit admins would keep the links intact in that case. Out of their greed and malice they would probably mess with the Lemmy link, then put the blame narrative on the poster for deleting/making the information unavailable.
It can be a bit annoying like how c/hackernews post only external links with topic titles, but that is the (temporary) cost of freedom and privacy.
Maybe you're right but at least you will have tried.
Yeah as someone who has gotten into Linux and DIY computer builds in the last year, I've been pretty sad at some deletions. Ultimately the fault is on Reddit itself but still pretty sad.
