I have a question regarding social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and other popular platforms.

We all know that companies like Meta sell and constantly track our lives, but are there other solutions if one runs associations or businesses through these platforms? Meta’s platforms have the most users for the most part, and it is easier to advertise through their platforms.

Our gaming association has recently switched from X to Mastodon, but not everyone has registered on Mastodon yet.

What are your tips for running associations and businesses more securely?

Unless you can get the majority of your customer base on decentralized social media platforms, you’ll have to live with having to maintain a presence on both sides. Now if you’re asking how to run your business more securely on centralized platforms, general advice would be:

  • Use a separate account to manage your business page. Don’t use your personal account or email.
  • Logon to your business account on a desktop browser with uBO in a container tab. Know that you will be limited on some features (i.e. no reels/shorts on desktop).

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.

Some Rules

  • 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
