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 :)

the problem isn't switching, the problem is making all the other people using It to switch too, not everyone cares about security or ads
Go, change it! It's open source.
FOSS does not mean there are no business interests. Think about Mozilla Firefox, Postgres, RedHat, etc.
Shit takes time bro. We're all trying not to starve to death here.
Yep most of the communities I like are on Discord nothing I can't do.
One of the interesting features about Matrix is that it supports some degree of interoperability. The Beeper phone app, for all the fuss about its ill-fated attempts to bridge to iMessage, can connect to Discord for basic no-frills text chat.
I refuse to install Discord on my phone but use Beeper for DMs and group texting.
I have happily succeeded. While there are some communities that are still on Discord, the vast majority of my friends are accessible on Matrix.
