I didn't see your initial proposal. However I sympathise with this post and I really understand the frustration you're feeling with the lack of donations, having seen it time and time again in the open-source space.

I was going to pledge that I'd donate once I had the cash available, but seeing how you respond to people in the comments is leading me to reconsider. You may not be demanding donations, but to me it does look like you're attempting to shame people into donating with a challenging tone. Quoting one of your responses:

Anyway, now you know it as well. If you think that this is a worthy effort, what are you going to do about it besides commenting here?

I still want to support you if you're going to pursue this, since I myself have a strong interest in Lemmy being GDPR-compliant, but I ask you that you please reconsider how you approach the people that can potentially be supporters of your efforts.

Can you show where the GDPR excludes public information? Because if it doesn't and can uniquely identify a person, then it's still subject to this regulation.

IANAL, but fediverse instances need to find a way to automatically set up data processing agreements when initializing federation to be GDPR-compliant: https://gdpr.eu/what-is-data-processing-agreement/

I'm confused. I opened the first 6 issues featured in your lemmy-ui link and you closed them all yourself?

Why did you list "privacy"?

Can we please not editorialize news titles?

The amount of hue shift in that phone display in the photo is hilarious.

I wouldn't mind if EU made it mandatory for them to be

They did. Signal and Threema just aren't interested: https://www.androidpolice.com/signal-threema-nothing-to-do-with-whatsapp-eu/

Ironically, their comments are more accessible than anyone else's here.

All the people that reply saying "But it is easy, I did it" fail to realize that their personal circumstances can't just be applied to everyone else.

I did it too. Most of my contacts were not willing to switch. My colleagues at work stayed in their WhatsApp group, and many of my close friends did too. I essentially cut myself off from most of my social circles and threw myself into social isolation. Not a good time.

I ended up rejoining WhatsApp and concluded that in this instance, my mental health is more valuable than the privacy I gain by not participating in WhatsApp.

I could never get the hang of motion inputs in Street Fighter, so this is definitely intriguing me. Can't wait to play it.

Multiple people on here have already tried to tell them.

What are you calling centralized here?

The spammers are using a limited number of scraped Fediverse actors, which also included a handful of Lemmy communities.

If you weren't part of that list, you were mostly safe.

This community has a heavy bias against Windows. Expect more of those kinds of headlines to show up in here.

Search engines currently struggle with the concept of federated posts. My guess is that instead of finding a post's home instance, they accept the first mirror of that post and discard copies from all other instances through deduplication.

Why care which browser they use?

What incentive would they have to betray your trust?

Is it the only site? No. Pick another one. Problem solved.
