Privacy recommendations? Improving our community's tech literacy 🧿 (Updated) - eviltoast

It’s good for all of us to be privacy literate, given that things can take a turn for the worse in many places, or already are bad. There was a post a few days ago that highlighted how the vast majority of trans people rely on internet access 🤔

I’ll start by saying that matrix seems to be a solid solution for communication, and tor for accessing information. It’s worth it to get familiar with them before you need them yourself, but also to understand them as a community so we can support each other globally 🏳️‍⚧️

I am also wondering if any of you are familiar with getting around network restrictions. For example a DIY mesh network? 📡

      I think most of what has been shared here is total overkill. Following a few basics will keep most people safe. A mesh network might also be good to practice with, as it can handle a brute force shutdown or censoring.
