The "enshittification" of Reddit has begun, what is r/PrivacyGuides to do?

The most obvious problem we have is that by building a community here, we are encouraging future privacy-seekers to search the internet for and discover great advice on Reddit, a platform which now actively attempts to hinder them from making privacy-conscious decisions about how they access information online.

In the past we could count on Reddit as a reasonably-neutral gateway for sharing information, and hopefully connect people here with privacy information they’re looking for.

It’s very hard to imagine justifying the time that will now need to be spent on making this subreddit great and keeping the level of quality on par with what we’ve enjoyed over the past three years, with Reddit actively working against us and our moderation tooling as well.

So anyways… does this subreddit provide any value in remaining open anymore?

Current alternatives:

Privacy Guides is available on Kbin and Lemmy (the same ActivityPub-enabled federated community). We of course also host privacy discussions on our forum at https://discuss.privacyguides.net.
