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 :)

Got some disagreements here:
I'd say you can reuse names/user names but then you should seperate your internet personality from your reallife personality.
Choose the right social media (fedi verse stuff that doesn't spy on you)
Also tor is a bit much for most things. for staying private a vpn you can personally trust should be enough
But the tips you listed are great for staying anonymous
Fediverse stuff can still be scraped and used to profile you, but since there’s no targeted advertising on the platform, if you’re anonymous, that’s extremely unlikely.
