Welcome! This is a community for all those who are interested in protecting their privacy.
PS: Don't be a smartass and try to game the system, we'll know if you're breaking the rules when we see it!
Some of these are only vaguely related, but great communities.

For context
the official community is now at programming.dev

You should also mention this in !meta@sopuli.xyz
There's a post there mentioning that their privacy community (among others) doesn't have a moderator right now, so they might be interested in consolidation.
I wonder how they would compare if you filtered out posts by Blaze, Lee Duna, and cm0002.
Should I lock this community, now? I don't know, i'm unsure about this.
It seems like @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al still likes to posts here.
SabreW4k3, would you be okay to switch to !privacy@programming.dev ?
Why are you trying to centralise? This place is fine, ml is fine and programming.dev is fine.
If you are okay with .ml being the main privacy community, then the attempt to get a non-ml active privacy community probably doesn't make sense for you.
If you want a smaller community than the programming.dev and .ml ones, there is !privacy@lemmy.ca
Edit: also, where is the decentralized community for !gunners@lemmy.world ?
If you want !privacy@programming.dev to be a success, make it a success organically. Trying to force people there isn't doing it.
I'm genuinely baffled by the relevance of !gunners@lemmy.world
You say you are pro-decentralization, which is why you prefer to have multiple similar communities on the same topic.
But at the same time, you still post to !gunners@lemmy.world, which is on the largest Lemmy instance by far. So you still acknowledge that you prefer to post on active communities rather than "shout into the void"
Nothing about !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com has been organic, I am aware as I was the main poster here for a while to make it active in the first place
6 pages of my posts here
Dbzer0 was selected as the main non-ml community 7 months ago in this thread: https://lazysoci.al/post/21253059?
Again, nothing organic.
This is a bit sad.

People matter to me more than any objective of sense of accomplishment. Fact is, I spoke to @Astrealix@lemmy.world multiple times about moving and he's not interested. An Arsenal community wouldn't be the same without him and so I'm happy to stay posting where he is.

The fact you're posting things that have been posted here over to pro.dev says otherwise.

And it thrived. Pat yourself on the back.
When you asked about moving a week or whatever ago, I said I like posting here, so why are you trying to harass me into following you elsewhere? And what happens in seven months when you change your mind? I'm supposed to move again? Just let me enjoy Lemmy. You can unfollow this community and you won't know it's there.

Privacy communities wouldn't be the same without active posters like Lee Duna who has been posting a lot on that topic on !privacy@programming.dev . Joining communities where there are active posters relieves me of the pressure to keep the community active.
The fact you’re posting things that have been posted here over to pro.dev says otherwise.
Let me rephrase: the dbzer0 community got active enough because a few active posters decided to make it active on the linked thread. That people started posting there afterwards doesn't contradict that its creation was completely artificial.

It doesn't work like that, and you know it. There are only so many active posters on a specific topic, so having everyone contributing to the same community helps fostering better discussions rather than everyone posting on a different community. The discussions that will happen in the comments in the dbzer0 won't be visible for people who follow the programming.dev community.
Let's also not forget that on top of !privacy@lemmy.ml, there is also !privacy@lemmy.world that has a few regular posters, which makes the whole fragmentation even worse.
If I were to create a community on your home instance, !privacy@lazysoci.al, would you start posting there too?
Also, calling this harassment seems a bit much.
This is a bit sad.
To be honest, I would care less if everyone was using Piefed, that would allow everyone to see all the comments from all the crossposts in one view, but unfortunately the vast majority of people are still using Lemmy, where discussions are fragmented between all the communities.
Lee Duna
Who?

Okay

It works exactly like that. I'm not the king of Lemmy. People post where they wanna. When you wanted to move from ml because of the admin issues, I supported that. When you wanted to genuinely decentralise and move communities from world, I supported that. When you wanted to merge struggling communities I supported that. Now that you're trying to merge for the sake of it, I don't support that.

If you feel there's only so many active posters, go post to them instead of harassing me. Pied Piper didn't end with him annoying the rats to death.

What's it gotta do with you? Why are you trying to force it?
If I were to create a community on your home instance, !privacy@lazysoci.al, would you start posting there too?
I couldn't tell you a single community on this instance, so no. I wouldn't even know it existed.
To be honest, I would care less if everyone was using Piefed,
See this is funny. Part of why I'm here is to get away from Reddit and Reddit like experiences. I don't like /ALL and don't want to interact with posters that don't understand the nauce of communities. That you want to create this linear mess is a you problem. Leave the rest of us alone. The beauty of Lemmy is the decentralisation. Multiple communities, different admins and different members.
But at the same time, you still post to !gunners@lemmy.world

'some people made a collective decision (that didn't involve you) that everyone should move to my preferred forum, and here you are!'
‘some people made a collective decision (that didn’t involve you) that everyone should move to my preferred forum, and here you are!’
Active posters decided where to post. As fxomt said in another comment
the real say comes from the active posters themselves, so there is nothing much i can do.
See edit below.
Noted, thanks
There might be some backlash, let's see how it goes.
On second thought seeing how there's pushback , it's best to reverse the edit and then see where this goes.
I still don't like this, to be honest; but the real say comes from the active posters themselves, so there is nothing much i can do.
Good, the sooner .ml domains fall off the better
