I have been trying to take my digital privacy more seriously as of late, but I find myself falling into a cycle of all-or-nothing. I will do a little bit to improve my privacy and then will suddenly feel like I need to go full-on down the rabbit hole. This leads to burnout, and then I’ll convince myself that it’s all futile and I should just use what’s most convenient.
How do you all find a balance that works for you? Or do you just change things constantly?
Thing is with all or nothing, once you start learning more about just how much services can really get on you, you’ll realize that you’ll never have a perfectly private existence as long as you’re on the internet at all. Being online at all is the comprimise that breaks the all or nothing mindset haha. Just take all the steps you’re comfortable with, you definitely don’t need to go all in. You don’t need to go into running custom roms on a fairphone, but you certainly can do small things.
