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 :)

I'd suggest you try Threema or Telegram. I personally use both but have more trust in Threema overall.

Telegram works very well but is a nightmare from privacy perspective since they store everything* unencrypted as long as they want. They even call themselfes "cloud messenger".
(*) everything but the e2e chats you can set up but are barely used since they can't be accessed on desktop and there's no e2e for groups
My favorite telegram feature is that you can nuke entire chats with a couple of clicks. I wish more texting apps had that type of design because it gives you ownership of your messages/discourse.
