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.

- 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

There is guilded.gg as well but I don't know if it's better for privacy.

I will not say the typical thing. Discord has a community that Element and Revolt cannot rival in numbers. So I think treating Discord as a public forum, while segregating private activity to privacy respecting platforms is the best way to minmax freedom and privacy.
Keep Discord isolated/sandboxed in a Flatpak on Linux or in Android work profile with restricted camera/mic permissions, and I think it is good enough.
What are the privacy issues with Discord? I honestly hate its format, but I need it for Midjourney.
