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 :)

MODERATORS
Stop wasting your life with doomscrolling.
the recommendations are very limited compared to actual YouTube app.
For me, that's a feature, not a bug.
Privacy based apps like that don't try to run the 'algorithm' on you to track what sort of content you do and don't like.
So, they don't build a profile of you to recommend content. Welcome to privacy.
Edit: Hey, at least you get to search for what you want.
yeah but there could be algorithm that runs locally I don't see problem with that
