At the time we thought that [email protected] 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 [email protected] , there are basically two options

  1. Use [email protected] , but that's another community on LW
  2. Create an alternative community on a generalist instance like lemmy.zip

About [email protected] , 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 [email protected]

Hello @[email protected]

Would you allow us to promote [email protected] on [email protected] with a post similar to this one: https://programming.dev/post/24364788?scrollToComments=true ?

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.

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.

What about [email protected]
