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?

    What I do is change to more private stuff slowly so I focus on changing one thing at a time and sticking with it and see if it become normal for me to use that instead.

    For example cause Reddit to Lemmy is the current change I’m working right now so I’ll stick with it for a month and see if it becomes normal for me to return here.

    Weather I end up replacing Reddit with Lemmy or not once I’ve decided I don’t immediately try to change something else, give myself a little break before trying to change something else.

    Basically you don’t have to rush to be private cause any change that sticks is a good thing no matter how long it takes.
