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 :)

As far as I understand federation, you should be OK as long as you don't interact with instances that are federated with meta garbage. Blocking an instance is one click but it'll hide comments from their users and make you click a button to read them. Its not that big a deal though
I don't know if interacting with users of those federated instances would be safe or not, but your exposure I assume would be limited to whatever you reply to them.
