For stats and links: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=privacy&order=active

I’m personally in favor of [email protected]

  • fits the theme of the instance
  • is not on .ml
  • is not on .world
  • 3 different active mods
  • no power tripping noted so far
  • 2nd most active community after [email protected]

[email protected] admin has been quiet for a while, the instance seems to be running on auto-pilot, https://lemmy.one/c/meta has no communication from the admins since a long time

Programming.dev is still running Lemmy 0.19.5, and they had a quite severe issue of database corruption for 3 months. Thankfully, it’s solved since (https://programming.dev/post/20515601)

        No, Vaporeon being the odd one out is accurate.

            …that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokemon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that’s not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won’t mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression ever again.

              In Japanese, Flareon is known as Booster. Let it be your emotional booster.

      I think I’ll never get why you are still using an account on .world, while you are always quite critical towards the LW centralization 😄

          You should maybe consider switching to another instance “in the meantime”

            Or piefed! ;)

            Theres a lot of good servers both on lemmy and piefed, but the mod tools are really good on piefed.

          Usually takes me a few minutes to export/import the settings to a new alt, not sure how it is on Mbin

      Before seeing the arguments I saw the ml community and thought “privacy advocates that also are pro state sponsored backdoors?”

      Glad I’m not the only one

    Honestly the duplication and splintering of communities across instances will be a big problem if Lemmy ever gets more mainstream.

    So probably not, but still.

      It’s already an issue now.

      I hope this meme will help at least limit it down to 2 or 3 communities. Having 7 for the same topic is too much. People want to post and comment in a place active enough, not crossposting everything to 7 communities.

        I’ve been thinking that there should be a better shorthand for linking to a community on a specific instances. Something along the lines of giving each instance a shorthand up to 4 characters or something, and then do community links in the format /<shorthand>/<name>. So give sh.itjust.works sjw as a shorthand, and /sjw/privacy becomes the community name. I think that would make it easier to remember the one you mean.

            Don’t think you’re going to see that in every mobile client…Sync doesn’t have it for example. I think the benefit is more in remembering than typing, too.

              Clients should definitely implement this.

              Remembering comes with context. Most of the people already know about hexbear by now

    I fail to see the problem. For privacy sublemmies especially it feels nice to have a redundant way of getting told about important stuff like this.

      It would be more efficient to have 2-3 core communities rather than 7 like this.

      People are not going to copy paste their relevant comments to the 7 crossposts of the same article.
