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 :)

Can't you simply wait for a complaint to actually make that call?
From a privacy perspective, owning a federated server doesn't really do much for your data except for providing a "home base" that's a little more under your control.
A little.
AFAIK if you get banned from a community, you lose the ability to delete your content on it. If your post on a community gets removed, it also seems to vanish (so I'm not sure how deleting it works)...
Edit: apparently this answer is wrong, now if people could reply with reasons, that would be more helpful.
if you get a letter because you violate the gdpr thing you have to pay. there is no 'it looks like you do something wrong. stop it or you will be fined'
then again the fine is based on yearly profit, if op is not a company the gdpr should not be a big problem. (but still could be)
The fines usually are a percent of revenue or millions of Euros, whichever is higher.
So if your revenue is 0 EUR then they can fine you the millions of Euros instead. The point of the “percent of revenue” alternative was for larger corporations that can get fined tens or hundreds of millions of Euros (or, as it happened to Meta, in some cases -- billions of Euros for a single GDPR violation).
