The privacy sub may be even more paranoid than the stim subs.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I don't think there's technically any evidence of tor or signal being compromised. signal is just speculation based on some early funding by a cia cutout, but it's solid except for the architectural limitations (using phone numbers as identifiers still, some limited metadata they could theoretically collect). Tor might be worse idk, iirc a bunch of the exit nodes are run by some 3 letter agency? but that doesn't necessarily mean the whole system is compromised.
Depending on who you ask tor is compromised enough to make it iffy to full on honey pot, either way my point is that as long as the systems exist as they are it’s gonna be difficult to evade it and always gonna be significantly too involved for average people going about their lives. Paranoid tech enthusiasts being able to navigate this stuff doesn’t translate broadly. Capitalism and big techs strangle hold on tech has to be dismantled before this kind of thing won’t be a concern anymore.
