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 :)

And that's materially different from having to join Discord/Teams/Facebook because that's where someone you need to speak with communicates with how?
SMS doesn't require you to join any specific service except the phone service you're already paying for.
And OP was talking about not answering 'google chat'. Calling that SMS is comparing apples to potatoes.
Sure, but OP and the people they want to connect with don't have to force their choice of proprietary app into others when there's a universal solution that works for all phones.
