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.
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?

I like !privacy@programming.dev, it seems fitting.
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
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)
We just added a couple more people to have server access and ideally that situation wont happen again
That problem specifially could only be reproduced on the main server so fixes couldnt be tested without taking the entire site down and at some point after the 0.19.5 upgrade (when the issue happened) it became too late to roll the server back since there was too many activities that came in but if it happens again after an upgrade we would roll back pretty much instantly)
dbzer0 does seem like a better option for general privacy discussion though
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

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!
What about !privacy@links.hackliberty.org

Hello @Ategon@programming.dev
Would you allow us to promote !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com on !privacy@programming.dev with a post similar to this one: https://programming.dev/post/24364788?scrollToComments=true ?
