Coming back to the !privacy community that is not on .ml nor .world (feddit.org)

At the time we thought that !privacy@lemmy.ca could be it, but after thinking about it again I always feel like having generalist communities on a country-based instance seems counterintuitive. What if at some point Canadians want to discuss specific privacy laws or measures? Also other people tend to think that this community is for Canadians only.

As I guess the main objective is to offer an alternative to !privacy@lemmy.ml , there are basically two options

Use !privacy@lemmy.world , but that's another community on LW
Create an alternative community on a generalist instance like lemmy.zip

About !privacyguides@lemmy.one , the instance still seems unmanaged (https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/we-re-giving-lemmy-a-try-welcome-to-privacyguides-lemmy-one-x-post/12734/7). There was a mod action 22 days ago, so I guess it's still somehow moderated. Trust level still seems low due to the non communication of the admin on !meta@lemmy.one

Db0 seems like it would be the most obvious choice, to me.

Good idea, wasn't even aware of this.

!privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I actually said that without knowing that community exists. I chose it because the theme of the instance felt like a good pick for the community goal. The pre-existing community is just a bonus.

Great pick but the mod seems inactive. One could ask db0 for mod perms.

Edit: i'm able to ask, but we should at least have 2-3 mods, i'm busy these days :(

@otter@lemmy.ca would you like to help mod !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com as well?

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm happy to help, wherever we end up deciding to build it :)

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 3 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

@blaze@feddit.org @otter@lemmy.ca I will send them a message on matrix and see what i can do.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Thanks!

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I talked to them. In 3 days if the current mod doesn't respond, they'll make us the mods.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Great! I actually don't even want to be a mod, I have a few communities on my plate already.

Maybe once you and @otter@lemmy.ca are mods, you can post an announcement there and ask for more mods?

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I see, I mistook a comment of yours as approval, sorry 😅

Thanks, will do
