Rust is moving from irc to discord as a result of mozilla sunsetting their irc server. I know one datapoint is not a trend, but it's a high profile datapoint.

fwiw, the Embedded Rust Working Group moved to matrix: https://rust-embedded.github.io/blog/newsletter-18/

Rust has already moved to discord, but it's subject to evaluation and might as well change.

I doubt it'll change. The Rust team simply don't care about privacy.

They've been knowingly and willingly violating the GDPR since it came in to force despite constant reminders of that fact.

> They've been knowingly and willingly violating the GDPR

That's quite the inflamatory statement to throw out there without at least providing a source or two.

I'm guessing they are talking about this issue which has been open for a disturbingly long time: https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io/issues/955

IPs and the account data you give them. And the complaint is not the collection, just that there's no listing that lets you know they collect IPs.

Seems extremely minor. I'm very far from disturbed.

[oehtXRwMkIs]

Minor sure, but it's still illegal.

It seems to be grinding through to a conclusion. Google analytics has already been removed (2018).

Activity only started after the ICO made contact with them as a result of my complaint.

(I also have issues with how slow the ICO are at investigating, but that's a different story)
