Same logic as for the !dataisbeautiful is another thread, let’s discuss a few options in the comments below
Maybe I’m missing context or misunderstanding something here, but isn’t it a little early to say the instance/community aren’t being managed? There doesn’t even seem to have that much relevant feedback to base anything on, so far.
Furthermore, privacyguides isn’t just a known name to me, it’s also a well regarded one. I appreciate them having an official community on Lemmy, so that pro carries a certain weight with it.
P.S. thank you for your efforts towards reducing centralization and unnecessary reliance on lemmy.ml.
Hello,
For some additional context:
- Lemmy.one was among the last instances on 0.19.2. I asked about it, which triggered their update: https://lemmy.one/post/13900606
- Jonah, the main mod of the !privacyguides community, and single admin of the instance hasn’t posted in the last 5 months: https://lemmy.one/u/jonah, same for the rest of the mods of that community
- Their pinned post at the instance level is still the 0.19.0 update 6 months ago
- The last moderation action in !privacyguides modlog was 3 months ago (https://lemmy.one/modlog/10)
So indeed, the name is known and that’s a pro (I mentioned it in the top comment), but it seems like the instance and the community aren’t actively looked after.
Edit: last point: the instance has 7k registered users for 230 active users a month, email verification was optional during registration, seems like people have been using it as a farmbot (registration has since then been disabled).
Thank you, that’s a bit of a shame. I see that you pinged Jonah, here’s to hoping he’ll share his thoughts and perhaps shed some light on the situation.
Let’s see how it goes, but from another comment, it seems like they are more focused on their Discourse instance: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/
In that context, I can understand why they wouldn’t want to spend too much time on Lemmy
