I think they phrased it poorly by saying using other privacy tool makes leta “useless”. Because you’re correct, using a VPN or other privacy tool doesn’t change how it works. Just that the privacy benefit VPNs provide is also offered by Leta, hence making this specific benefit redundant.

Also, there is nothing wrong with redundancy, it can be a legitimate strategy too.

??? It’s “useless” if you use other privacy-focused tools in your browser or internet connection?

The phrasing is weird. I guess the more privacy-focused tools you have, the more features in Leta becomes redundant.

For most people Leta can be useful, as the above conditions cannot ever truly be met by systems that are available today.

But I guess this line implies using Leta will guarantee completeness? I guess this implies it is difficult to completely block all possible tracking technologies on our own with the tools and systems we have available to us.

It wasn’t specifically stated, but I hope/assume you mean to suggest a website to complement rather than replace the existing strategy of posting images on external platforms. I think the strategy of posting easily digestible copy-pastable images to popular platforms is extremely powerful, as not only does it allow for reach, but also for their respective community to be involved.

I think an external website would be effective for those that wants a deeper dive or to be more involved with the community. I definitely could see myself using it often, but only as a way to reference information or do a deeper dive. Possibly engage with the community too (assuming there will be a forum). I would personally opt out of the profile to track impact though, as I am also trying to limit my digital footprint.
