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.

            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.

    Mag ik vragen waarom je voor Signal hebt gekozen i.p.v. Matrix, aangezien dat vaak gebruikt wordt op Lemmy?

      Wij kozen voor Signal omdat het gebruiksvriendelijker is dan Matrix of SimpleX. Daarbij kunnen vooralsnog de meesten het beste bereiken door middel van Signal. Wel kozen wij voor een alternatieve groep op SimpleX. Die dient dus zover eveneens als backup. Wil je misschien onze groep joinen?
