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)

I fail to see the problem. For privacy sublemmies especially it feels nice to have a redundant way of getting told about important stuff like this.
It would be more efficient to have 2-3 core communities rather than 7 like this.
People are not going to copy paste their relevant comments to the 7 crossposts of the same article.

I don't see how every comment section has to be identical, although in the case of privacy/security maybe there are cases where important information is shared in the comments, idk.
Let's take the recent issue with Firefox. People are looking for an alternative, or to better understand what the risk is
Lemmy.one
Lemmy.world
Let's imagine that someone comes up with a detailed analysis of what is happening with the new ToC, and which alternative people could consider switching too. Do you think they'll go through the hassle of sharing that information to all of those threads?

I can't predict the future, I can only say that I personally have shared comments (with links) that I found insightful before, and I'd hope others would do the same if it was important enough. And sure, time on this earth is limited, but when I want to know something I trawl many comment sections to get a better picture.
Would it be easier to gather important tips if there were less sublemmies? Yes, undoubtedly, but my original point about redundancy, as the instances are all hosted different places in the world, is also a positive thing.
