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

  1. Use !privacy@lemmy.world , but that's another community on LW
  2. 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

While this doesn't solve the problem of a general privacy community, the most recent update on this is from 2 days ago, about exploring support for Lemmy

https://meta.discourse.org/t/activitypub-plugin/266794/346

If it works, it would open us up to a lot of official communities (PrivacyGuides and Mozilla both use Discourse for example)

I just hope that if/when this is implemented, those other entities have a good experience with activitypub and don't turn it off after a brigade or something

Good news, curious to see how the integration will happen!

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

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 5 points 12 hours ago

Good idea, wasn't even aware of this.

!privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 5 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

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 :(

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

@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

I'm already going to start posting a bit there ha ha

[–] 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

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 2 points 7 hours ago

Amazing!

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I like !privacy@programming.dev, it seems fitting.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Programming.dev had database corruption for 3 months: https://programming.dev/post/20515601

I like the instance, but it seems like they are a bit short staffed when technical issues occur

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

O shit. it'd be a fitting topic for it to be there, but that seems like a dealbreaker.

infosec.pub seems good too, tho its about security. (tho they are heavily related topics)

[–] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

What about !privacy@links.hackliberty.org
