This comment is all you need to know about this community! c/privacy is filled with millennials, Gen-X and boomers! There are only a handful of Gen-Z and Gen-Alpha here. I was in the same situation as you 2 years ago and asked advice here and the most upvoted comment was “If you can’t ask for a girl’s number you ain’t got game”. I deleted my original lemmy account within a few minutes then. The Fediverse was filled with Linux nerds who were at the extreme ends of privacy-anonymity spectrum back then. And nothing seems to have changed much after reading all these comments. My original Fediverse account lasted approx. 1 month 2 weeks. Let’s see how much time this run lasts. I already have a lot of complaints regarding the Fediverse. The cons outweigh the pros. I’m not having fun here. It’s only a matter of time till I pull the trigger.
I assume you’re Gen-Z too! Socializing and Dating without Instagram and Snapchat is impossible! Don’t listen to others here shouting “get their email!” “ask them to install Signal!” "ask them to install PixelFed!! “They are not worth your friendship if they don’t want to talk to you if you don’t have Instagram!”. I know the real world ground reality having experienced it earlier, you have no other choice than making an IG and Snap account. Everyone you talk in real life will ask for your “ID” after sometime, which means IG or Snap ID depending on where you live. No “normal person” (as in normie) will install Signal or PixelFed for you. I have studied in 2 separate universities and only knew 3 girls who didn’t have Insta or Snap. The foids who spout nonsense here are millennials who have no idea on how Gen-Z interact with each other or individuals who are too far into the privacy-anonymity spectrum. Anyway, you can take the following steps which will preserve your privacy in IG and Snap:
-
Create IG and Snap accounts using newly created emails.
-
Use AI generated or heavily AI altered pic as your profile pic in IG. So Meta wouldn’t be able to meaningfully use your photo to train their facial recognition systems.
-
If you decide to post photos on Insta, alter them heavily using AI or Photoshop.
-
Use ASCII empty characters for your “name” in Insta and Snap. Use random username generators for usernames.
-
Keep Bio empty, if it doesn’t allow you to keep it empty, use ASCII empty characters.
-
Don’t watch or post Insta reels.
-
Don’t like, comment or share in Insta.
-
Don’t watch stories in Snap.
-
Use open source frontend apps on Android to browse Insta and Snap (I previously used a good app for Insta (I forgot it’s name) which allowed you to control which pages to show. Like you can choose to stop displaying reels and feeds section and make it only to display DM’s. This is very useful if your only aim on Insta is to use it for messaging. It even had a “Ghost mode” which will allow you privately browse Insta without alerting anyone- it’ll keep your online status as “offline” even when you’re online and turns off typing indicators for DM’s and groupchats and you can videocall anyone without showing them you’re online. Like I said, I forgot it’s name, I’ll link it here if I find it).
-
“Build a profile”- follow all of your Job/University/School friends. This will make your profile look less suspicious. Remember - It IS suspicious to not have Insta and Snap in this day and age. The fact that you didn’t have both of these apps this far itself will make you look suspicious in the first place. So first build a profile.
-
Some have recommended apps like Insular, Shelter and Island to Isolate apps but let me tell you the truth- they will have no effect. Meta and Snapchat will still track and surveil you.
-
De-activate account after your purpose is resolved (only on IG) - Deactivate after your work is done. Say like the girl you were talking to has officially become your girlfriend. Don’t do this on Snapchat as Snap doesn’t have separate deactivate and delete account options. Your Snap account will get “permanently deleted” if you don’t re-activate within 6 months.
-
Using VPN, TOR and other similar proxies will get your account getting flagged by Meta’s spam filters and you will have to verify your identity via a real-time video verification (which has got scarily accurate in recent years) or submitting a government provided ID. Which is against what you’re trying to achieve. So don’t do that.
Good luck!

We use Chromebooks at my work (along with the whole Google suite), and we are bound by the rules of HIPAA.
Assuming you mentioning HIPAA and disabilities, you must probably work in the healthcare industry. What kind of backwater hospital/healthcare company uses chromebook?! I know chromebooks are prelevant in the education industry but healthcare… They are cheap but Google makes up that money through Google Workplace vendor lock in! Man… I have seen Linux running on hospitals even in 3rd world countries… If you can, please quit that job! A healthcare workplace using chromebooks will not give a damn to employee’s privacy!
They are on the Guardian Project repository which is no longer in the fdroid app by default to the best of my understanding.
Why and when did this happen?
Also, orbot is shit, use inviZible to stay updated with the latest tor daemon releases
Thanks!
I have a secondary phone which I bought in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2018. It has a “TRA ID” and “TA” under “United Arab Emirates” section in the About Phone. Will this Aura spyware affect me?

2·12 days agoI have personally seen one account satisfying the above criteria selling for 2500 USD.
This was on Ebay a couple of years ago before they banned the sale of online of online accounts. Now most of the Reddit account sales happen on playerup and blackhatworld. If you’re going to sell your account on either of the sites make a post proving you actually have control over the account like go into your user profile and type a post saying “This is for playerup. This account, [enter username here], is being sold by an individual and not through some agency or marketplace. Please contact me to buy the account. Individual buyers only. Agencies and marketplaces please avoid” and record a video of it and post it on the product description. If you can’t directly upload videos use sites like imgur. This will instill confidence on the buyer since most of the posts claiming they have a 18 or 19 year old accounts are straight up scams. Also PLEASE post this in your product description to help the buyer to prevent your account getting banned by shittit’s spam filters:
My account was created in [Enter country here]. Always use an anonymous browser ( incogniton, morelogin, octobrowser, adspower, dolphin-anty ) Use a your phone’s 4G/5G connection as a hotspot for your PC. As for VPN, right now only Mullvad VPN seems to be immune to Reddit’s spam filters. Use the airplane mode button and check if it assigns a new IP each time. Check if your configuration works on both of these sites (https://iphey.com/ https://proxy.incolumitas.com/ proxy_detect.html). Avoid changing the email or setting the account to NSFW in the first few days. Reddit is placing a lot of importance on Google’s reCAPTCHA v3. Before accessing Reddit, our advice is to visit around 100 websites (including Reddit) and accept cookies. Save those cookies and use them in your browser. This will make the account activity appear more natural. Work Strategy Day 1-2: Visit the communities where I have posted comments, browse posts, and leave a few random votes (twice a day). Day 3: Repeat the warm-up process, find a post, and reply to a comment (do not comment directly on the post, only reply to a comment). Day 4: Enter the subreddit you want to work in, join the subreddit, and for the next two days, browse posts and leave a few votes. Day 7: Start leaving a couple of replies to comments. Day 10: Your account is ready to work. Post-10-Day Strategy From day 10 onward, vary your account’s actions: 1 day rest,1 day comment, 1 day only browsing, 1 day any action you choose.
Another note for you: but bans are always a possibility due to various reasons (bad links, poor-quality or flagged proxies) or flagged VPN’s.
Who is Berkshire partners?
If your shittit account is:
∘ 18 or 19 years old ∘ Has a 3 letter username (example: u/hey) ∘ has a million or more karma (the more the comment karma, the more the better)
Your account would be worth 2000+ USD. I have personally seen one account satisfying the above criteria selling for 2500 USD.
If you have one such account it’s the best time to sell now.
2·12 days agoWhat’s in that movie? I have a DVD but have not watched it yet.
So the only option I have is to flash it with an open source custom rom? Interestingly, I can’t seem to flash custom roms on this phone. It can’t seem to pass after a few steps. Could the UAE origin be the reason? And, by the way, what is TRA ID and TA?
