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 :)

use FOSS software whenever you can try https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager it lets you see every known tracking library that apps have and you can even block those, while maintaining functionality. set fingerprint and don't lend your phone to anyone scan all downloads with virustotal use a hosts file based ad and malware blocker (you need root for it) like AdAway use Invizible Pro, where you can configure Tor, i2pd, dnscrypt run at the same time. Use Cromite or Tor browser or Vanadium update your software as soon as possible use a password manager, like any maintained keepassxc fork or bitwarden, with a foss authenticator app (i use Aegis) change email provider: protonmail, tutanota use Termux for everything that you don't need a gui for or don't have a gui for (like low-level operations, getting system info, compiling, converting and compressing niche formats, http server, network analysis and so on)
