I’m planning to write a post on this!

Wi-Fi calling still gives your carrier your IP address and location so they can route the call, so it’s not totally private.

Getting around that usually means running a pretty stripped-down setup (no SIM, full VPN, etc.), which gets pretty inconvenient.

Fair point. I updated the about page to explain what this blog is for and how I write.

Yes.

First of all, avoid giving your mobile number on instagram. It is a very unique identity to identify you. Firefox private browsing mode alone won’t help you but browser/profile isolation can be a better solution.

keep in mind that your privacy is not only in your control but other people who saved your number on their phone with real name, other services you used before or the isp iself can sell this data to data brokers. If you used whatsapp with this same number, then that’s too a reason behind this.

Furthermore, device fingerprinting, browser fingerprinting, network fingerprinting, etc. pose significant drawbacks in privacy on platforms like instagram.

why?

means?

You’re welcome.

GrapheneOS can prevent IMSI Catchers, App-Level Location Tracking, Wi-Fi MAC Fingerprinting. but you are still vulnerable to other types of tracking methods.

No. The wifi you are connected to, still leak your location data.

You’re welcome.

Yes, GPS itself is not a tracking mechanism. But the apps and services you use in your phone is actively using GPS to track your location data. That’s what i mean.

Actually the implementation of tracking methods and data collection is much more easier than implementing methods to prevent them.

Can you please point out which service you specifically talking about?

Use Librewolf + uBlock Origin (already pre-installed) + NextDNS via in-built DOH settings.

A well-trusted VPN service like Mullvad, Proton (which has unlimited free bandwidth with free servers), IVPN or Windscribe is also recommended.

Additionally, add these recommended filter lists to uBlock Origin.

I recommended Hardened Firefox.

What do you mean by “Firefox lets you get tracked on the server side”? Use that Doh function with any DNS I recommend, like NextDNS, ControlD, or AdGuard, to prevent tracking via the server side. Also, you can use a VPN to hide your IP.

You use container tabs and private tabs, so how are Facebook and Google going to collect your data? A Firefox container means the entire Google login is limited inside that container only; it has no access to outside what happens. At the same time, you have to use a UBlock Origin or any other content blocker to block other types of tracking scripts outside that container.

About fingerprinting. You can tweak the config to make your Firefox more resistant to browser fingerprinting or consider using user scripts like Arkenfox, Better Fox, or Phoenix. There are also preconfigured browsers like LibreWolf and Mullvad Browser available if you are okay with constant breaking of functionality on websites. If none of this is enough, there is tor browser.

Yes, and it depends upon your threat model.

Thanks.

I heard about Writefreely, but Plum is new for me. Also, I checked out that website and saw this.

Project status

Currently, Plume developers have less time, and Plume is not actively maintained. New features may take time to be implemented. Could you consider similar-purpose software? WriteFreely, WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin, and so on?

Anyway, I will check it out and try to write on those platforms if possible.

No, there are chances a bot might leave the bot account option unchecked. In such cases mods or users who detect such an account will ban or block it, I think.

There is an option in settings to turn off bot accounts. Right?

In my opinion, lemmy is far better than reddit.

Also you are in a more popular instance, that can also be a reason you are seeing more bot accounts.

As you said, I updated the webpage with a more minimal, user-friendly and light-weight theme.
