Protect your privacy in the digital world
Welcome! This is a community for all those who are interested in protecting their privacy.
Rules
This includes the instance rules of dbzer0, which can be tl;dr'd to: this is a libertarian socialist space, no right wing nutjobs or tankies are allowed. As for the community rules:
- Be nice
- No bigotry/prejudice
- No tankies/right wingers
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Stay on topic
- No crypto
- Don't be a smartass and try to game the system, we'll know if you're breaking the rules when we see it!
- If you post news exclusive to a country please name it. (This isn't a bannable rule, but just a recommendation :) )

MODERATORS
Yeah, the only other privacy community I'm aware of is on lemmy.ml, which isn't ideal.
lemmy.ml modding practices ruined it, drove all of the talent away.
used to have good discussion on there but excessive censorship suffocated it.
We need freedom enjoyers to coalesce around here. So much work to be done, so much profit to deny.
That explanation honestly makes perfect sense to me. You can see the skeleton, still remaining, of a really cool and counterculture space where people can just talk to each other. I remember really liking the list of communities that were available when I first started poking around at Lemmy. But yes. If someone started being overbearing and saying that anybody who has X thing to say about Y country will get kicked out of the server immediately, then of course almost no one worth listening to will stick around and put up with that. Because why would they?
And then, it'll be populated only with shouty blowhards with all the same opinion, and become a joke of an instance. It's not a good outcome. The promise of the software, and surely the intent of the founders and developers, deserves a better flagship.
