Question Regarding Forum Moderation Transparency and Feedback
Privacy Guides Community [Unofficial]
April 20, 2026
This is the topic in question.
It’s one of the few topic that hasn’t been unlisted or straight up deleted and I don’t see how there would be any rules preventing linking to it.
It took PG 3 months to answer here: Remove ProtonVPN - #143 by anonymous549
So maybe it takes a loooong time to deliberate privately on their part.
There’s also a trend where lots of veteran users are not posting much anymore.
Also, kissu has been banned for what it seems like the usage of the popcorn emoji which resulted in this weird change: Allow to remove or replace old reactions - #17 by jonah
All around, it seems the PG team is not so keen into constructive criticism and prefer silencing dissent.
I hope I can be proven wrong with a clear message to the community on what has changed or what will change. But for now another topic of mine was silently deleted 1 month after creation. So, I’m not holding my breath.
