thanks, that explains why some of my posts are also copied to other instances π€
Hello,
I dm'd you a few days ago about !privacy@programming.dev and asking whether there any reason to not use !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
The second one is quite more active: https://lemmyverse.net/communities?query=privacy&order=active_month
There is a extremely good reason not to use a privacy community that forbids talking about cryptography.
We have had this discussion many times. Pretending it doesn't matter is just being obtuse at this point.
Yes, I can't feel this poster is arguing in good faith. At this point it's so redundant, it reads like "any excuse will do."
Jet apologized in the comment below, so not sure why you say this shouldn't be in good faith.

To be completely honest, I forgot about the crypto rule.
Lee Duna also posted several articles to that community in the past: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/search?q=+&type=Posts&listingType=All&communityId=1111729&creatorId=430615&page=1&sort=New
So I'm not sure that is drove their decision.
The previous threads didn't mention this point
Not sure why you're being so aggressive.
I'm being forthright because concentrating communities to instances has repercussions especially when the moderators of the new instance defederate aggressively or ban relevant topics.
Apologies if we didn't discuss it before, I thought you and I had discussed the privacy community at least 3 times. In fact I blocked it due to people cross posting content to it.
Of course, but there is also a limited amount of instances available. We tried !privacyguides@lemmy.one, but it's shutting down soon.
If the privacy community has a really strong opinion about cryptocurrencies (which I don't think they do, as it's the most active community that isn't on .ml), we could organize a move to lemmy.ca. Although Lemmy.ca isn't maybe the best choice as they might need a Canadian-specific privacy community, and having both next to each other would be confusing.
I vaguely remember it, but it's been a while, and my vague memories were that crytocurrencies could be discussed on other communities.
yes... like !privacy@programming.dev so when i see campaigning to remove the few spaces where i can discuss things I care about... it gets my hackles up.
I like programming.dev (I am the main poster on !mechanical_keyboards@programming.dev ), but there always seem to be some technical issues with it, the most recent 11 days ago: https://programming.dev/post/31970658
The biggest issue was probably 7 months ago, when there was a database corruption that impacted the whole instance from 13th October to 12th of January: https://programming.dev/post/20515601?sort=New&view=Flat
Preferring one instance (dbzer0 in this case) doesn't mean other instances aren't as valuable, it's just choosing what is "the best fit" for a community
