We recently set up a Dutch community on Signaal to share knowledge and ideas regarding IT and privacy. Are you a Dutch speaker and would you like to participate, send a message

    I am dutch and spend many an hour at the intersection of IT and Privacy … but this is the wrong community to advertise a local Signal group.

          The group is about self hosting tips and privacy? And what would be the correct community then, does it even exist? This don’t make sense xd

            Not selfhosting AND privacy.

            From the sidebar of this lemmy:

            “A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.”

            So its about self-hosting with certain qualities (not giving up privacy or lockin). Not about privacy in general.

            Signal isnt selfhosted and does lock you in, albeit with a high reputation to not become evil.

            Better lemmy would be https://lemmy.ml/c/privacy

                You asked why and I gave an explanation where the 27 downvotes came from. So I think there is some agreement within this lemmy about being offtopic.

                If that bothers you too much I suggest focusing on something more productive, as I will do.
