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]

    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 :(

      Ha! A happy coincidence. I thought I was suggesting creating a new community over there, not taking over one that already exists.
