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 :)

Yes, but I did not want to take credit for this discovery, especially on a federated site, which is why I have shared the toot of the person who found it
The Onion is not exactly obscure. If you want to credit the Vivaldi user, I think it's still preferable to link the Onion directly, and add a note saying where you found it. That saves people from some clicking and tracking.
It's a mastadon instance and Vivaldi is pretty privacy respecting. (Despite being chromium based)
Tracking? I think that the Fediverse isn't Facebook, no tracking conecting or linking from one to another, tracking from the Onion, but not from Mastodon. Look for yourself who is tracking you https://themarkup.org/blacklight (nice in your Bookmarks)
If nothing else, your ISP is also tracking.
That isn't avoidable if you don't use an VPN. ProtonVPN (OpenSource) is fine, even the free one (no logs, encrypted military level, no data limits in the free version, made by cientifics of the CERN)
Discovering what? A very popular satirical news site?
Not in Spain
I keep this sign framed in my house (for the guest network, of course).
this witch has made the incantation invisible!
