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.

- 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
I didn't even realize votes are public here. On Reddit I've got that shit hidden because it's extremely personal data. Just through upvote/downvote patterns you can figure out what someone's likely political beliefs are, how religious they are, what their hobbies are, what disgusts them, what arouses them, what they find offensive...
It's genuinely insane that this stuff is public at all. I'm probably gonna stop using Lemmy because that shit being public is just way too dangerous imo, and I don't trust myself enough to not participate if I keep coming back.
If only reddit didn't commit seppeku, then I'd never have even considered something so poorly thought out.
