As you well aware, privacy is becoming an increasingly important issue in our digital age. Many people are looking for safe spaces where they can discuss their concerns and learn from others who share their values. So much so to this day we've seen dozens of communities and instances dedicated to the topic. However, the authors often struggle to fill those communities/instances with enough content to attract and retain a sizeable audience.

these include but not limited to

That's why I would like to suggest to consider hosting (by means of autoreposting) all privacy-related content on this instance.

By doing so, this instance would be providing a valuable service to those who are seeking a secure and private platform for their discussions. At the same time, you would be expanding the reach and influence of your own instance, becoming a single most complete privacy related place on fediverse.

I understand that hosting multiple communities may require additional resources and effort on your part. However, I believe that the benefits of doing so would far outweigh any costs. You would be helping to build a stronger, more connected community of privacy advocates, and you would be positioning your instance as a leader in this space.

If you can link something to me, I'll figure a way to automagically crosspost it to my instance

I think that this is a good idea, however I do not have the moderation capacity to do this unfortunately, and the Privacy Guides team is not interested in running a general "privacy" community as opposed to just [email protected] for numerous reasons.

In an ideal world, the mods of r/privacy would be interested in setting up shop on Lemmy.one or their own instance, and this is an idea I've floated by them since we do talk, but I can't force them to be as excited about the fediverse as I am :)

I thought PG staff are the mods/mod of r/privacy?

however I do not have the moderation capacity

Is PG staff/affiliates not running multiple privacy matrix rooms anymore?

No we have nothing to do with r/privacy :)
