To explain privacy concepts to normies, we need to simplify things into a nice story. Similar to the way science does it by explaining atoms and molecules. (lemmy.ml)

I think most people understand that some things need to be secret aka private, like their passwords. I wonder if there are any old folktales about gossip in towns and villages that would be fun to rewrite for now. I named the open source community !magicstone based on one of those old stories and I think it helps get the idea across of building something great through community.
