When I was still on their subreddit, I found advice and views from the Privacy Guides team to be of mixed quality. I don’t know if they have changed since then, but I think I would sooner give money to the EFF.
Maybe we could ask them for an AMA on this community
I love privacyguides but still a bit salty about how jonah neglected lemmy.one, just ignored contacting attempts when his instance was hosting fuckedup shit, and then brushed it all off by saying lemmy is lacking in functionality instead of admitting he had been completely neglecting the admin tasks on lemmy.one and that he should have closed that instance long time ago if he didn’t plan to deal with it.
It’s ok not to want to continue hosting or admitting that life got in the way, but just brushing that off by saying it’s lemmy’s fault is what annoyed me.
Edit: words.
I’m conflicted on that one. Feels like a missed opportunity for both. If Piefed had been around at the time, the additional mod features might have been enough for the PG team to admin an instance more actively
Maybe, who knows. Oh well. Can still appreciate the good content of PG, especially after they hired some more staff for content, which has been really nice.
