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 :)

Are you talking about watching or uploading to YouTube?
You can use NewPipe on Android and FreeTube on desktop as free open source third party clients. They allow you to create (or import) a list of local subscriptions and a subscription tab where the list of your subscried channels' videos gets fetched and ordered into a chronological list just like on YouTube with an account. They are less responsive and stable than YouTube app and website, but work well for watching your favorite channels.
dont forget about invidious! the alternative open source frontend to youtube.
Also don't forget about Piped.
Uploading, I already use NewPipe/Freetube, Invidious, + privacy redirector.
Youtube gets too easy for me to jump into rabbitholes for a finite amount of hours. So I only visit the official youtube website only for some dank memes.
You could also look into other platforms such as peertube and lbry, that actually respect your privacy.
