I don=E2=80=99t know any such channel (some time ago there was some IRC-lik=
e but not actually IRC communication thingie mentioned on the website, but =
I can=E2=80=99t find it again). Except perhaps for sending e-mails to indiv=
idual people on the ML (instead of the ML) and requesting to not quote the =
mail on the ML, but they might not want to .
Some potential reason to not want to do that: public ML are _public_, so ot=
her people with the same question might can read responses without having t=
o ask again (also less effort for people on ML). And if someone answering o=
n the ML made a mistake in an answer, then there=E2=80=99s a good chance so=
meone else can correct it (less risk of uncorrected wrong answers).
If someone wants do to this, perhaps they could reply to this e-mail thread=
(or to you personally). (Note that according to https://www.gnunet.org/en/=
contact.html many here support GnuPG encryption, which if applied would pre=
vent the e-mail servers from snooping the contents of the mail, though they=
would still see who you=E2=80=99re communicating with and when, and maybe =
the subject too.)
(I personally don=E2=80=99t want do to this except perhaps in some exceptio=
nal cases, but perhaps others might.)
All this said, unless the technical question is somehow also personal or yo=
u are in a particularly oppressive location, I think it=E2=80=99s best to u=
se (temporary) pseudonym e-mails.
Best regards,
Maxime Devos
