Privacy hub is your one stop hub for all things privacy, security and freedom. We know that there’s nothing private in the internet. But at least we can find ways to minimize risk by identifying threat models and act accordingly. Got a story to tell? Or something to share? Feel free to jump in!

UPDATE: Got started with a guide here: https://lemmy.world/post/954144

Will add more soon.

Until a more comprehensive list can be made in this community check out https://www.privacytools.io/ as a starting place to begin your privacy journey. NOTE: that some recommendations in that site are closed-source as pointed out by @lemmy.world/u/rooki.

Some ammendments we would like to point out

nextdns -> if you can self host “pihole” is 100% open source and free
Surfshark -> use MULLVAD instead. It’s affordable and has been audited.
Keepass as a password manager.

PrivacyHub is a place where users from the fediverse are welcome to discuss, answer, share news and exchange best privacy practices.

It’s scary that the Unity debacle is not just happening in games but a very real threat not just in digital and app space but in real life.

It can happen in medicine, housing, even the food we eat if the trend of subscriptions and lock ins continue.

Despite this, a global concerted effort towards Open Source tech is still not happening.

In Unity for example, there is a push to transition to Unreal but less so for Godot. We see this happening with reddit too. And soon maybe we’ll see it in real life. What’s stopping our hotels and landlords from charging us everytime we open doors.

We see this in the rampant mandatory tips. Where everyone is automatically charged per order.

It’s scary and frustrating at the same time that there may not be a clear remedy for this. As the world shifts to subscriptions and services, do we truly own anything anymore?
