    The mindset about privacy is just all wrong. It’s not an all or nothing game. Any privacy gain is a net positive to no privacy at all.

    To many people conflate privacy with anonymity or try “accomplish” privacy without understanding what they want to be private from and why.

    Hey you have nothing to hide? Please give me: Your address, bank account info, card numbers, social security, and the information of your family and friends. All passwords. Hand over your wallet too. Give me photos of your fingerprints, genitals, and a 360 view of your head. Why does it matter what I could do with such info? You have nothing to hide, right?

    Ultimately, 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.

      Agree, I am primarily on lemmy now. People here are way nicer to each other than Reddit

          depends on the instance, if you’re nice it’s really hard to get banned on .world or blahaj.zone, on grad or ml tho you gotta be authoritarian

    (Obviously you don’t need to start where I’m at but everyone’s goal should be to eventually become as secure as reasonably possible)
