Should we switch the default privacy community from !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com </c/privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com> to !privacy@programming.dev </c/privacy@programming.dev> ? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello everyone,

I raised the point recently already, but to make it short

I tried to reach out to the active poster, who posted to the lemmy.dbzer0 community in the past before switching back to programming.dev, and I guess they disagree with some of the stances of dbzer0 (probably the pro AI one)

Programming.dev has a few hiccups from time to time, but for a few months it has been stable

What do people think?

At this point, I would rather follow the single organic active poster on that topic as long as they post on an ok instance (which programming.dev is)

I'm a bit burnt out of trying to have alternatives to lemmy.ml communities. We've been trying for more than a year by now (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/21760805), and we didn't manage to get any of the alternatives communities to get even on par with the .ml one

When external projects or contributors post to Lemmy about their project, like Framasoft or Comaps, they do it on .ml communities

Either we all agree that the .ml communities stay the default ones on those topics, and that our attempt was a failure, or we agree to follow organic posters where they are.

    I’m a bit burnt out of trying to have alternatives to lemmy.ml communities.

    I can understand that, it is an uphill battle. !linux@programming.dev at least is doing well.

    It's just annoying from a user perspective to have to keep up with all this intricate instance politics for a single comm. Maybe p.dev is the right choice just because it's so uncontroversial so won't cause issues.

    Yes, !linux@programming.dev is in a better shape.

    Definitely. That's why I'm always advocating for a single community, all posters post there, after a bit mods of the inactive communities suggest to their communities to get locked down and point to the active one.

    And yes, that's my feeling too about p.dev
