For people unaware, there is !casualconversation@lemm.ee

Good point

Sorry about the downvotes

Isn’t schadenfreude used in English?

Thanks for sharing!

There are some cool users over there tho :/ gonna miss them

We’ll make sure they come join us

Thanks, will do that when I have some time

It’s only a click away!

a community that does not allow all conversations.

LW has blocked !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, how do you think they’ll react if people start asking “which VPN should I use to be anonymous and torrent”?

As I said in another comment, crypto can be discussed in another community.

I’m not trying to consolidate all conversations to privacy@dbzer0

To be honest in order to have a chance to offer a real alternative to !privacy@lemmy.ml, some consolidation is needed, otherwise the .ml community is just going to stay the one main community forever.

@QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz, it seems like you are the last active mod on !privacy@lemmy.ca, would you be okay if I created a meta post there to suggest to lock it and redirect to !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com ?

Personally it’s okay with me. Feel free to have a look at the previous thread (https://feddit.org/post/6950586), but long story short

• LW is not ideal as they don’t allow VPNs
• lemmy.ml is known for admins powertripping https://feddit.nl/post/16246531
• programming.dev recently had federation issues (still do based on my last posts on !privacy@programming.dev )
• lemmy.one’s admins are always silent

Lemmy.dbzer0 has a very good record of stability and management. If we need to discuss crypto in a dedicated discussion, why not. To be fair, I expect some backlash of any pro-crypto discussions in a general privacy community anyway.

Hello @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com @unruffled@lemmy.dbzer0.com, could you please clarify?

From what I understood, promoting privacy services which allow to pay in crypto is OK, but not to promote cryptocurrencies themselves?

Lemmy.dbzer0.com for the win

Funny name

Thank you for posting here!

Thank you for sharing, crossposting to !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Hello,

Is this instance still actively managed? Do you know when it will update to 0.19.8?

Good news!
