It’s a matter of time. Just like with software, you have to have a bias toward open source, freedom respecting objects and support them with your cash.


Privacy is only a part of this.
Anonymity is another. Privacy is being secure in your files, your thoughts, your private and group conversations. Anonymity gives you safety to share your findings. Whether that's whistleblowing or ideas or results, having your real identity attached may be more risk than it's worth. [Why do we need both?](https://publish.ministryofinternet.eu/sparrow22/privacy-is-the-ability-to-do-and-think-and-meet-in-ways-the-surveillance-state) Since these are separate things, it makes sense for [Anonymity](https://lemmy.ml/c/anonymity) to have its own sub.

I support ending the federal tracking app requirement for re-entry into Canada but vaccine mandates are more complex. In the long term I suspect human bodies are going to need shots to be able to withstand whatever biotech might produce. Vaccines are useful human technology that require coordination for maximum effect, but I believe that coordination should come through education, certainly not violence. Whether denial of employment would count as force is an open question.


This isn’t what happened for me. They wanted an email confirmation so it’s rather chicken and egg. Maybe tutanota will work as an initial provider then i can get a protonmail. It seems these services have their ideas about which are acceptable for what.


I tried Yandex but I think since I’m using Tor they limited my account and asked for SMS. ProtonMail required email confirmation from another email so it’s rather chicken and egg. Some systems work on an invite principle so that could work, or maybe to request an account with an appeal in text. Finally, if spam is the issue paying with some crypto might be possible.


The problem is the whole model of collecting and using data to control us. Our interests become liabilities when we are shown what we like plus a little bit of fear, comedy, and outrage.

You make some good points. I say let the FBs and Apples fight it out and let us go on with what we’re truly interested in. Use Tor and try to create the free, privacy-respecting life that you want for yourself and loved ones.


Hi, I'm Sparrow22. I don't want to be tracked 100% of the time. I want to be free to call it as I see it and to assemble my own truths about the world today. I'm happy to have an account here and an inbox based simply on my story. If anyone can suggest an email provider or help me out with an invite, it would be much appreciated. I won't spam or incite violence or anything with my email account. The title is linked to my blog which was thankfully free to setup, even if the host does seem to mostly have spam otherwise. -S Edit: I now have an XMPP account, DM me for it. Edit2: Still no luck on an email address. It seems bots have poisoned the well. Some services say to reach out for an invite but you have to reach out via email! Will have to look for a lemmy presence for one of these things.
