!privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com as announced in a previous post
The mod is okay with me opening this post: https://sopuli.xyz/comment/14240553
This being lemmy.ca, I could see some value having a community focused on privacy and privacy laws in Canada given the others are mostly US centric. The laws are different and your rights and adversaries to protect against are all different.
A pinned post suggesting that community would make sense however!
No to any consilodation. Trying to force people to a particular instance is about the most anti-fediverse move there is. If that’s what you want, go make a subreddit.
Not a community member here, so I have no opinion on your move; but as a 196 user I commend you on actually asking the question.
Best of luck :)
Thank you!
No. The entire point is for people to have choice. There is no downside as a user to joining multiple communities with the same name/theme on different instances.
Consolidating communities onto one instance is a vanity project of mods who want to control users and prolific-posters who want to control narratives.
No. People should have choices. Isn’t that one appeal of decentralization?
In terms of other options, there are already
There are only so many people interested in the topic on Lemmy, and .ml is already the most active community by far.
While i appreciate the work put towards a healthier Lemmy experience for everyone, I’m also concerned about the consolidation efforts happening lately.
I agree with streetfestival that it comes off as pushing towards centralisation of communities within instances that are considered “acceptable” (by whom, for whom, what criteria?), which to me goes directly against the idea of federation.
!privacy@lemmy.ca is perfectly fine and was actually the community people recommended when .ml was considered not reliable anymore. Why make people move again?
The goal is to have users have a choice, not force people to use four to five “main” instances and go back to a Reddit style of ownership when it comes to communities. Until we have an option to federate and share comments between communities, I’d rather “live and let live” than force a specific usage of Lemmy upon users.
