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 :)

You can see my comment history for the past month and a half with consistent 4-7 downvotes, if you ignore 4-5 comments people generally hated.
You know, instance admins can find out who is downvoting and upvoting by checking the database. It doesn't have to be a mystery if you stand up your own instance. You don't even have to use it primarily, just get it federating your comments.
Self-hosting is a pain in the ass, and I do not have the time and dedication for it, as someone who has 100 other things in life. I am no longer even a terminally online person, I just come here to check on the state of Lemmy, put on some helpful comments, moderate privacy and technology communities, and go back to real world after dedicating 15-30 minutes a day to Lemmy.
