Hello,
as this is a fairly active community we just wanted to let you know that this community is no longer federating with Lemmy.World due to defederation from lemmy.one for lack of moderation.
Our announcement can be found here: https://lemmy.world/post/28173093
We recommend migrating to a community on an instance that is maintained better.
I’m suspicious that is code language for allowing opinions not approved to speak on the internet.
The main maintainer of this instance and PrivacyGuides, Jonah, was last active on reddit just days ago, but a year ago on Lemmy. Clearly it’s not a priority for him.
By the way, it’s the same website that scrubbed the section on alternatives to the big tech social networks like Twitter and Reddit, making the wild claim that there’s no practical difference between them and the alternatives. They argued that the public nature defeats the point of privacy, but refused to account for the fact that the amount of personal and other data collected and sold by the corporations is multitudes more than what is collected by the likes of Lemmy.
What’s the illegal content referenced? CSAM? Pirated content?
Since they refer to it as “very illegal” and say it originates from an attack, it is almost certainly CSAM.

So, where do we go? If the allegations are true (and I have no reason to doubt that), I’d like to defederate as well.
So, I’ll be honest, I don’t understand most of the technical stuff about lemmy. I just know it’s open source, no ads/corpos, and all the individual lemmys can interact with each other like how emails can send emails between gmail and yahoo. But what does defederate actually mean? Like how does it change things? Does it mean that people with the @lemmy.one can’t see the privacy instance anymore? And they have to change their account?
Seems like that would be up to the mods. They can pick any instance they want.
Edit: NVM. The nonresponsive mods in question from the post mentioned are the moderators for this community
Thanks for looking into it. Most posts here are cross-posted to !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com so unless someone wants to continue this specific community, I’m going to leave in a few days and just go there instead. Wish you all the best. I really don’t think things like this align well with the broader spirit of a privacy / digital ethics community.
Fuck lemmy.world. Fuck flyingsquid. 🖕
Whether you like Lemmy.world or not, its probably not a good idea for this community to remain on an instance that is failing to remove CSAM.
No idea about that claim, but Flyingsquid and all his flying mod monkeys have made him the Spez of Lemmy.world and I will have nothing to do with that shit instance or the shit people on it and will shit on them all any time I can. Fuck Flyingsquid up his flying neolib ass.
Didn’t they already leave tho? I haven’t seen them around in a bit, don’t disagree with the neolib part lol.
No idea, I’ve had lemmy.world blocked for like a year
Who cares?
Read the allegations. There’s a good reason for it.
