privatelife - privacy, security, freedom advocacy
This community is meant to advocate privacy, security and freedom in an concise manner, free of prejudice bias, free of politics, free of cultist thoughts.
Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say. - Edward Snowden

READ THE RULES
-
Opinions are welcome, facts more so. Attack arguments, not people. Hating, baiting, trolling, flaming will be dealt with strictly.
-
Discuss closed source software with caution. Advocating for it strongly (cult brigading) can be treated as violation of this rule.
-
Editing titles of article links is strictly prohibited, unless and until the summarisation remains accurate to the context of the article or paper. Such link post will be removed without questioning.
-
Targeting of any country, person or nation is strictly prohibited without valid reasoning. Evidence if not presented against the specific company/corporation/individual will be treated as personal attack and/or hate speech. This will result in a warning, then ban system.
-
NO PERMA BANS! Ban system will work as follows:
1 day --> 3 day --> 1 week --> 2 weeks --> 3 weeks --> 1 month --> 3 months --> 6 months
Severity of the ban system will be dealt with based on degree of violation and circumstances.
-
NO FACT-LESS EVIDENCES, NO FALSE RHETORIC Evidence has to be credible. The onus of this lies on the claimant. The same applies on the user who questions proven evidence. Violation of this rule will be dealt with strictly.
-
Copycat posts serve to litter the community, increasing quantity and decreasing quality of posts. As such, posts will be removed. Repeated attempts will receive warning.

You can’t defederate on a per user basis. Its either accept or reject federation from server A to B.
Theres many reasons servers have been defederated, usually due to illegal content.
There was a big backlash on many lemmy instances to Threads federating. The common feel from those discussions was to defederate from any meta owned instances as all it does is give meta tons more data to use. Anyone interested in privacy should be against threads federating
You can ignore instances with the help of apps
I feel like with the data collection part is stupid. If you don’t want your data to be collected, don’t post publicly.
Strange point of view to have on a community about privacy. okthen
You are right. Usually, people know that posting publicly isn't private anymore.
