I'm personally in favor of !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

  • 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 !privacy@lemmy.ml

!privacyguides@lemmy.one 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)

...and then there's Vaporeon.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 month ago

I was missing one, was sad about it too.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago

No, Vaporeon being the odd one out is accurate.

[-] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 20 points 1 month ago

…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.

  • is not on .ml

Not on the .ml Tankie instance and not on the giant centralized hub of .world, The only 2 reasons needed LMAO

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 month ago

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 😄

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

I've got plans to move, just waiting till I launch my own instance...when I get to it on my long to-do project list lmao

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

You should maybe consider switching to another instance "in the meantime"

[-] mesamunefire@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Or piefed! ;)

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

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Doombot1@lemmy.one 8 points 1 month ago

There are dozens of us Lemmy.one users! Dozens!

[-] SatyrSack@feddit.org 8 points 1 month ago

I used to be a lemmy.one user like you. Then I took an inactive admin to the knee

[-] airbussy@lemmy.one 3 points 1 month ago

It's kinda exclusive now that registrations are closed

[-] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

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 //. 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.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

The auto completion works quite well

!privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com took me six characters to link it

[-] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

Clients should definitely implement this.

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

[-] alykanas@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

Can’t live with em, can’t live without them.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

I have switched the recommended privacy community recommendation from !privacy@programming.dev to !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com on my communities due to your advocacy Blaze!

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

!privacyguides@lemmy.one was always meant to be for guides rather than just news

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

The mod just posted a news article

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah I'm going on what it was back in the day (so probably on reddit when it split from privacytools.io). It was the companion sub/community to privacyguides.org (which does post guides) but I guess whoever is moderating it now is fine with news posts too. Not a problem on its own, the only issue is basically what this memes highlights!

[-] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

Gotta catch 'em all

[-] RedSnt@feddit.dk 1 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] RedSnt@feddit.dk 1 points 1 month ago

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

I don't see how every comment section has to be identical, although in the case of privacy/security maybe there are cases where important information is shared in the comments, idk.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Let's take the recent issue with Firefox. People are looking for an alternative, or to better understand what the risk is

Lemmy.ml

Lemmy.dbzer0.com

Lemmy.one

Lemmy.world

Let's imagine that someone comes up with a detailed analysis of what is happening with the new ToC, and which alternative people could consider switching too. Do you think they'll go through the hassle of sharing that information to all of those threads?

[-] RedSnt@feddit.dk 1 points 1 month ago

Do you think they’ll go through the hassle of sharing that information to all of those threads?

I can't predict the future, I can only say that I personally have shared comments (with links) that I found insightful before, and I'd hope others would do the same if it was important enough. And sure, time on this earth is limited, but when I want to know something I trawl many comment sections to get a better picture.
Would it be easier to gather important tips if there were less sublemmies? Yes, undoubtedly, but my original point about redundancy, as the instances are all hosted different places in the world, is also a positive thing.

[-] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

my original point about redundancy, as the instances are all hosted different places in the world, is also a positive thing.

But that's a different topic.

!fedimemes@feddit.uk posts and comments are currently replicated on probably 50 other instances. It's still the single community on that topic.
