After the original mod being inactive for so long, i’ve asked the db0 mods for me to take this community. So, welcome back!

Rules

This includes the instance rules of dbzer0, which can be tl;dr’d to: no right wing nutjobs or tankies are allowed. As for the community rules:

  1. Be nice
  2. No bigotry/prejudice
  3. No tankies/right wingers
  4. Don’t promote proprietary software
  5. Stay on topic
  6. No crypto
  7. Don’t be a smartass and try to game the system, we’ll know if you’re breaking the rules when we see it!
  8. If you post news exclusive to a country please name it. (This isn’t a bannable rule, but just a recommendation :) )

Why not:

Lemmy.ml

.ml is infamous for banning pretty much anyone they please. This community, while left libertarian, will allow conflicting viewpoints.

Lemmy.world

.world is too big, and has centralized a decentralized community. It simply does not fit, and is a net negative for the fediverse as a whole.


I will be creating a wiki/guide for this community later on, but i’m currently busy.

    Its been decided, hexbear users will be allowed, but only if they behave.

      Banning by instance achieves nothing but further alienation.

      Let them be, just don’t hesitate to ban those who poison the conversation.

        That’s what I thought, but I don’t want them to get the idea that they’re welcome, only tolerated.

        Perhaps I will make a pinned post if it ever becomes a problem.
