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

there is an active poster on !privacy@programming.dev
!privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com is mostly me and @cm0002@lemmy.world
I think it would be beneficial to consolidate on one community rather than crosspost content from one to the other

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?

I always prefer one strong community with several active people over spreading everything out. Makes it feel more coherent, maybe mods can work together, we get less cross-posts and newcomers don't need to subscribe to dozens of places, they get fewer, but more active ones instead.
