The privacy sub may be even more paranoid than the stim subs.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

True that for just using a sim card less phone.
However
GOS airplane mode disable any connection to the cellular network. If I'm wrong if love to hear some evidence to the contrary.
It's not that we are wrong or right, we cannot verify. That is the danger. In a high security environment I treat everything as suspect until proven otherwise. However when you do not use technology you categorically exclude an entire attack surface, and it is extremely simple to get right.
Sure , not using a phone is of course the best option. If that is an option. For most people, activist or criminals of any kind. Not usually an option.
You can at least verify the Foss code. Or trust the people that verify it.
I'm not responding to be mean, so I'm sorry if this feels like bullying. I've had friends and comrades arrested and jailed, and I don't want anybody falling into that trap if it can be easily avoided. I'm trying to point out the Ideologies (*sniff*
), the things you don't know you know, so that you can operate a much stronger security posture.
The first Ideology is using the same device in both high and low security environments. Don't. Use multiple devices and compartmentalize aggressively. In security posture, you are only as secure as your weakest point. This is why those "criminals" use a different burner phone. Using a single device to communicate with grandma and radicals is a recipe for baking and arrest. I consider
a low-security place where I shitpost and goof off, but I absolutely do not engage in any 
here because it would be trivial to trace it to me. Same with my regular cell phone, which I text grandma baking recipes but never use it during protests.
The second Ideology is thinking you are excluded from those so called "activists and criminals" while participating in very leftists and public online spaces. I guarantee
and 
watch both Lemmygrad and Hexbear as I type this, and they don't give a single 
! Rude! To them we are all being gay and doing crime. Have fun giving them 
but you deliberately never go beyond that.
