Hi !

I’m a privacy enthousiast. I have pihole running at home, I use it as my DNS resolver, and I use wireguard on my phone to connect home and use pihole on it. Never been happier. No Facebook, no Instagram, no social media at all.

Thing is, I’m making big changes in my life. I’m moving from Paris to the countryside and I need, I badly need to advertise my services as a freelancer (sound engineer and wedding photographer).

Of course, I’m in the process of building my website (almost there), but I am nothing if I don’t post on Instagram and Facebook (in particular for my photo work). I’ve seen what other successful wedding photographers do with social media, and I need to do something alike.

I deeply despise meta, but I’ll have to make a sacrifice at some point.

I’ve already found something like hootsuite to schedule my posts without having to login into fb or insta, but I’ll have to login at some point for the interactions. So I’ll install some secure OS on an old phone I’ll use only for that purpose, but damn, I already feel dirty.

How would you feel about this ? What would be your approach ? For those of you that are in a similar situation, what’s your method ?

    As weird as it sounds I use Edge for things like that. It keeps me from accidentally using the same browser for other tasks. Because I instantly know I’m in the wrong browser if I’m doing other work.

    That’s enough separation for me.

      I already have an ungoogled chromium on my PC. That’ll help :)

      Okay the approach is interesting the “instantly know I’m in the wrong browser bit” is just gold, however I’ve some concerns about privacy, since you’re logging in on Facebook and whatnot with any windows (assuming)) desktop application that uses the Edge webview component will be doing web requests with the same fingerprint. Facebook might able to track you in some way.
