Any account that doesn't need to be tied to me I deleted and made an anon account if I still wanted to use it. However, I think I would go insane seeking full anonymity/privacy; There are so many ways companies/people could track you if they desired and I still want to talk to my friends and go by my username that I've been going for by a good portion of my life. So I still keep a Discord, Telegram, Youtube, Steam account, etc.

I run Qubes OS to keep my digital life compartmentalized as well as for security; This lets me set up different network and firewall vms to run things like a tor gateway vm and vpn vm. For example, I have a separate crypto appvm which runs through a different firewall vpn and then through my tor vm to hide my IP. I also use Vivaldi as my main browser with Brave and hardened Firefox as my alt browsers.

I plan to install a custom rom or Linux on my phone since im still using the default one. I know I can still go deeper into the privacy rabbit hole but I think I am at a good point now.

Imo "normies" will be even more unaware of their privacy than they are now, whilst us and maybe more tech-savvy people will use alternative platforms and networks. btw I never understood the "surveillance=safe" equation, even irl. I mean, having cameras everywhere didn't make us safer...

P.S. why Mozilla can't shut up and harden firefox?

Thank you Rambler for your thorough response! I found a lot of my thoughts is your reply, even if right now I haven't reached your level of privacy practices (still on social media, using google products, etc.). I try to use floss software where possible and I'm interested in privacy and security topics. My anonymity part of the question was purely from a curiosity stance, since I'm really fascinated with this kind of stuff and this website permits my to apply it a little bit. Surely, my style (especially my typos) is recognizable and traceable, but I'm still going to try to achieve it and to find instruments to spread my opinions. For this I'd like to thank you again Rambler. With this platform you have given a little place to escape my ordinary life without feeling like an outcast for using tor. I hope that Ramble will live a long life!
