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.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
Looks like Discord will do a Reddit in the near future.
I recommend switching to Matrix.
the problem isn't switching, the problem is making all the other people using It to switch too, not everyone cares about security or ads
There's also privacy issues with Matrix:
Discord is also one (admittedly very lousy) company, while Matrix starts with the privacy issues and just gets worse
Edit x2: I can't place a parenthesis to save my life
Go, change it! It's open source.
Right after you promise to convince all their moneyed interests to accept those changes into the repositories they manage
i dont use it and im curious, what interests? i tought is was FOSS?
FOSS does not mean there are no business interests. Think about Mozilla Firefox, Postgres, RedHat, etc.
sure but they are usually more tamed. what is matrix doing exactly?
Shit takes time bro. We're all trying not to starve to death here.
