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 :)

Nothing like seeing all 3 of the same posts by you in my feed 🥰

The biggest annoyance to me personally, with fediverse communities. Complete fragmentation.
Not to say I want a centralised control, but something in the middle
It does make establishing a critical mass of comments to make a good discussion difficult. I’ve had it once or twice where I discovered a post in one community commented and didn’t get any replies, only to discover some other discussion on the same content happened elsewhere on the fediverse that I wasn’t subscribed to.
I heard someone describe it as discussing a topic in different bars. You'll get a slightly different niche in each space. Has its pros and cons. But beats the centralization.
That’s a good way to think about it, actually. Thanks for sharing
I have to wonder if there is a way for clients to glom together duplicate posts across your subscribed communities into one, and if you reply to a thread in that post it passes it back to the correct discussion.
I mean, you'd still see repetitive stuff in the post's comments from your point of view, but everything would be in one place from your perspective and it would be semi-transparent, at least for the communities you subscribe to.
All the information is there, it should be doable......
This is what you're supposed to do on the fediverse. Thank OP. Raise a bug with your frontend to add an option to dedupe your feed if it bothers you.
