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
- Use [email protected] , but that’s another community on LW
- 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]
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
Good to hear!
Indeed!
