I finally got around to spending more time in the Hare community IRC channels now that I have some open brain cycles.

Hoping to keep this up and contribute much.

Local Officials Have a Powerful Tool to Warn Residents of Emergencies. They Don’t Always Use It.
---

ProPublica has identified at least 15 major disasters since 2016 in which officials in the most-harmed communities failed to use a federal system to send emergency alerts to residents — or waited until it was too late.

Privacy is a human right, but getting more people to care about it is frankly (and literally!) a full-time job.

2025 has seen some of the worst attacks on privacy to date, and it has also represented the greatest commitment to our work our team has ever made.

Going into 2026 and beyond, we really need the support from all of our followers to keep our staff fed & housed and to keep our momentum going.

Your membership will directly support @Em0nM4stodon's writing work, @jw's top-quality video content, and @kevpham's work keeping our daily tasks on point. It also helps us find the best guest contributors, and review paid products completely independently.

If we've put out anything you've found helpful this year, this will determine the future of that work. Please read my message on our forum for more info:

#Donate #Privacy #Community #PrivacyGuides #MutualAid #DirectAction #Activism #Solidarity #Capitalism #CrowdFund #Donations

2025 has been a crazy year for Privacy Guides.

In just 9 months we’ve published 15 videos, 21 articles, and we’ve pushed releases to the privacyguides.org website 13 times, with each release typically containing 10–25+ PR submissions from our team and volunteers. Since only July we’ve hosted 10 livestreams of our revived podcast, and there are plenty more on the way.

Since December, 3700+ more people have followed us on Mastodon, and about the same number have subscribed to our new YouTube channel. There are 200 per week more active users on our forum, and pageviews across all our sites have well more than doubled.

All of this is to say that people care about privacy a lot, and I believe we set the example in this space. While other “cybersecurity influencers” promote one-size-fits-all advice, we focus on practical and nuanced recommendations that account for the complexity of your personal situation.

To be real with all of you, the reason all of this is possible is because we hired 3 people to work on a regular basis at the beginning of this year.

Our volunteer team, moderators, and this community have all been doing exceptional work since 2021 which has established the foundation for all of this.

However, the reality is that to get this fantastic content out there and in front of people, there has to be a team doing work day in and day out to stay on top of the news feeds and create content that sticks with people and informs newcomers about why this all matters.

ALT

Our greatest strength is that we have no sponsors or affiliates. We have sent thousands of new subscribers to subscriptions for tools like Proton Mail/VPN, MySudo, Ente, and so many other privacy tools, and we do it purely because we believe in these tools and want them to succeed.

Frankly, many of the companies we recommend regularly send hundreds or thousands in affiliate dollars to other channels that give them far less traffic, while rarely if ever voluntarily making a donation to support our work.

Our choice to only receive income from the people who directly support our work makes us virtually the only review team in this space which has no reliance on the companies we recommend.

We have a handful of regular supporters who we are very grateful for, and we have received a very small number of very generous one-time donations which have made all of our work over the past year possible.

However, one-time donations dry up, and if we want to maintain our great momentum in 2026 and onward, we simply need people to make this work sustainable and give our team the safety of monthly recurring revenue.

ALT

My personal goal is for our membership program to give our members far more value than you will get from any other ~$10/month Patreon or subscription service from other YouTubers, podcasters, and writers in the personal privacy space.

I want anyone pushing privacy forward to be hugely successful, but to tell you the truth, I personally believe we are creating the best content in this space right now, and I hope that you trust Privacy Guides to publish the best version of this information as well.

Going forward, some of the content that we pay to produce will probably have to be restricted to people who are willing to pay for that content in return. Our members will also receive:

Early access to new videos on our channel
Priority Q&A responses on This Week in Privacy
Recognition on our forum and website
Priority response to comments on our articles/videos

We are also constantly considering new ideas in the team and from our members. Part of my commitment to make sure you can get the highest quality version from the Privacy Guides team of anything you can find from anyone else is to work with you all to decide what direction we should go in here.

Some other things we are considering include members-only forums and group chats, more detailed news reports about privacy tools and companies, private chats with team members, or free merch for our supporters. If any of this interests you, or if there’s something else you might want, please let us know.

🇨🇦 👋 40 Ways to Fight the Far-Right: In Canada

This guide offers ideas for people of all backgrounds, identities, and skill levels. While we encourage people to show up in person, there are also many options for people who aren’t able to do that.

Together, these actions present a variety of tactics which raise the cost of participation in far-right movements and, we believe, will keep communities safer.

Things are coming together at @newsmast. Here’s the big idea we’re working on:

What if every community could have their own early-Twitter, driven by an own-branded mobile app, as easy to build as Facebook Groups?

Are you in #tech and running your own #Fediverse instance? You might want to join an Activity Pub relay instance!

🍼💓Hello!! On this wonderful evening I’m asking for help. Our friend Mai in Gaza is scheduled to give birth via c-section tomorrow. We urgently need to raise £1000 for her c-section, diapers, medication, and other basic needs.

We’re at 385/1000 as I’m posting. I know we can make this goal! Please share!
