A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
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
- Be nice :)

Multiple-accounts and pseudonyms. It's like the 101 of interacting on the Internet. With a phone number requirement that's automatically made impossible.
Also SIM-cards/phone numbers are required by law to be attached to your real world identity in many countries.
What about them?
Why is that a problem?
Why are you posting as artyom@piefed.social and not @?
...because this is not a private message? And because my home address is not a piefed server. Such a weird question...
