It is difficult to take this person seriously regarding privacy when the call to action regarding protecting one's privacy is:

  Subscribe and stay in touch. I have the most awesome

  a community here, too.

For me, the lack of credibility does not reside in the existence of an Instagram account, but instead in nakedly soliciting email subscriptions in a "privacy focused" post.

YMMV.

I hear you.

But if you felt you had a privacy focused message that you wanted people to hear, is soliciting emails really that bad an idea?

What is a preferable way? Ask folks to subscribe to an RSS feed or Signal group?

I suppose asking for an email address fits with her stated position.
