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)

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

Hi, ~sorry_for_making_this_comment_so_late~

if they ( @nutomic... , @dessalines... ) are really state sponsored and anti- security ... then it's very bad news because they wrote the Lemmy code !
... if so do we know something about it ? or do we have more reasons to suspect ?

Wow, there's too much to cover here.

I know the authors are tankies. It's widely known. But:

Lemmy is open source, code can be audited for backdoors.
The instances can an often do apply patches server side, do even if the original source is clean, the instance can be tampered with. This also apply to ml.
Even without backdoors, Lemmy has no encryption whatsoever. Any instance admin can see everything you do and your "private messages". You can create your instance, federate and watch. It's actually very possible that LLMs are training with Lemmy because of this.
The fact that a tankie designed a social network without encryption is a very telling thing.

In the end, I don't do PMs and I assume everything I do is never private here or in reddit, so I'll mitigate what I can.

BTW, I didn't say they are state sponsored, only that they are pro state sponsored backdoors, meaning backdoors for the government.

- Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.
