Ok so here is the situation:
As many here (I guess), I dont like Meta, but since I want to promote my 3D-printed stuff more, I see my self in a position where there is no way around Instagram 🤢
So my question is, if maybe someone here already uses Instagram here “privately” or if someone has ideas on how to use it but still giving Meta as few info as possible?
My idea at the moment would be to use Mullvad for every traffic going to insta. For signup I will of course use an email with a custom-domain that is never used somewhere else and if I like other posts, I will only use the account, related to my business. My personal account is just for getting in touch with real people I know and to promote my business-account. The personal account will not have my real name and uses also a different email from a custom domain.
Thanks in advance for you comments and trust my, I really hate having to submit to Meta and their stupid social media crap…
Edit: Thanks for all your great feedback. I will def. look into all of these ideas 👍
I also forgot two things:
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.
much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Use an Instagram-specific site container to isolate your activity from your normal browsing. Imo this is really the only thing that matters that doesn’t have to do with your self control. You want to make sure Meta gets nothing from cross-site tracking and containerizing IG should do that. Also, don’t visit links to and from IG. Look it up manually through IG search.
