privacytools.io VS privacyguides.org

FYI, Privacy Guides is a shitshow. It was formerly privacytools.io[1], and in 2019, the creator[2] of privacytools.io stopped contributing[3] and a new contributor[4] immediately focused on donations[5], became the admin[6] and took control[7] of most assets, including donations but excluding the domain and Twitter account[8]. In 2021, the creator of privacytools.io launched a new privacytools.io[9] and added affiliate links[10], and the Privacy Guides team shut down r/privacytoolsIO rather than return it[11] to the creator. Like I said, a shitshow.

Yes, we know you're still mad we won't add Threema. It was thoroughly discussed in our old organization.

en 2019: Signal has copious privacy issues making it unfit for privacytools.io endorsement.

Signal is just another walled garden and has a lot of other problems too: https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/issues/779

Or the fork which is much more active these days https://docs.searxng.org/

In the past it Lukol served Google Ads: https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/issues/1557#...

Never heard of it. Fastmail apparently never made it on to the privacytools.io list for its geographical location. See here for some other recommendations. There are also malifence and posteo. I use posteo and mailbox.org. The main two weird things about posteo is that there is no spam folder (detected spam is rejected with no option to change this), and you can't use a custom domain (because they don't want to have any information on you/your name). Mailbox.org can optionally reject spam and lets you use your custom domain. I like it a lot so far.

Worth noting the "admins" of that site wrote the content for it, check for yourself https://github.com/privacytools/privacytools.io/commits/master BurungHantu hadn't written anything really since 2016.

Look for an extension that changes your user agent. For instance, if you're using Firefox, it can tell fool the server you're talking to into believing that you're actually on an iPhone running Safari. I can't vouch for any that you should trust so you might want to run any that you find past more knowledgeable people before you trust it. Rabbit hole 👉 https://www.privacyguides.org/

For privacy-related advice, you might want to review our FAQ and/or visit www.privacyguides.org. You might also want to try using Reddit’s search function to see if there were posts on topics similar to yours.

I highly recommend using https://www.privacyguides.org and actually avoiding PrivacyTools all together. PrivacyGuides is essentially the successor the PrivacyTools, with the entire former team behind PrivacyTools founding and running PrivacyGuides. You can read about the history and founding of PrivacyGuides here if you're interested.

Good place: www.privacyguides.org and r/privacyguides.

We've had a Discourse forum for a while, and actually replaced all links to Reddit with links to Discourse a few months ago.

NextCloud: I intend to use Nextcloud as a Google Drive alternative anyway, and it seems to retain the photo and video structure of my phone gallery. However, I've read conflicting information about its end-to-end encryption, with sources like privacyguides.org stating that its E2EE app isn't production quality and may lead to data loss.
