I was originally using Privacy Guides to learn about privacy related items, but they’re pretty psychotic over there, especially about device/OS choice. I’m fine with using Brave/Mullvad, Brave Search, etc., but there are certain thing that I need to have on my phone, whether it’s for my family, for my company, etc. I’d like to improve the privacy settings on devices like my Samsung phone, iPhone, Windows PC, and Mac. Privacy Guides doesn’t really even allow for discourse on that, going so far as telling me to sell my company because it primarily revolves around producing software that doesn’t run on Linux devices.
Not everyone can use Linux for everything, and I have had terrible experiences with Pixels, both running Pixels’ operating system and others. But they refuse to acknowledge that anything else exists, and obliterate people on their forums for asking about privacy settings for other devices. So I was hoping to find other communities in addition to this one on Reddit and Techlore that aren’t just completely nuts. Any suggestions?
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 :)
The PurchaseWithPurpose community here on Lemmy and other platforms does a great job of pointing at achievable change by dissecting nine differences between available alternatives.
Privacy is a spectrum; I agree with comments here saying to look at these much more hardened principles still even if you won’t ultimately be taking them up on all their suggestions
