If they don’t agree to take it down tell them you don’t consent to it or something and you’ll get more involved in taking it down. Letting them know because of privacy will make it become more normalized. If more of your friends who were posted without their consent spoke up about it, this could be a serious issue and maybe they’ll even use pixelfed one day. It’s a long shot but little things like this will bring awareness to people.
For example, over the past few years I’ve been just living my life on a linux computer, grapheneos phone, using foss and encrypted messengers. My friends and family questioned it and I explained to them and a couple them now wanted to get started on this privacy journey. They’ll probably get their family and friends to take notice and explain it to them too, then, it’s a whole movement now.
I will definetly not back down. Your comment and many others helped me understand how important it is for me to stand up for myself in these kind of matters
Android is probably my biggest privacy hole right now. I’ve considered alternatives but none of them particularly appeal to me. I moved away from Gmail, Google Voice, Chrome/chromium, deleted Facebook, etc… But android has some deep tendrils.
What’s your take on Graphene?
ime grapheneos is awesome, and a lot easier/compatible than many think
Graphene is as good as it can get when it comes to privacy and security. You get lots of control over what apps can have permission to do like accelerometer sensors in addition to all the other controls regular phones get. It’s more stable than the last time I used calyxos. If I show my phone to people they see it as a regular Android phone and wouldn’t think twice about it. You can download apps through aurora store or google play store if you wish and there’s some kind of segmentation done if you choose to download from the latter.
Their website is good if you wish more information. https://grapheneos.org
