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 :)
Lemmy (or Fediverse) is not private at all.
Its main appeal (at least for me) is the non-profit motive and censorship resistance, and that you can also browse it anonymously.
If you are getting IP blocked by your instance (server you are connected to), just choose another one.
That's not true at all. Everything you actively send the server is not private but it's also not unnecessarily collecting all sorts of personal information or tracking you around the web.
That's what I meant by the non-profit motive. Reddit and Discord sell those data for more profit.
Issue is with Countersocial, not Lemmy. Lemmy works fine
Sorry. I (and probably others here as well) have never of it before. I thought it was a Lemmy client or server, due to the community you posted in.
What do you mean by private
CounterSocial blocks entire IP ranges and most VPN/datacenter networks as part of its anti-abuse policy. It’s not really decentralised, so if you’re blocked at the network level there’s usually no workaround unless they manually allow you.
Try Fluxer instead.
