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:
- Be nice
- No bigotry/prejudice
- No tankies/right wingers
- Don’t promote proprietary software
- Stay on topic
- No crypto
- Don’t be a smartass and try to game the system, we’ll know if you’re breaking the rules when we see it!
- 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.
It’ll always be humorous in a good way that I’ll likely mistake or mistype this one for the related and very adjacent !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com !
lmao, i did that already by accident. there are no mistakes, just happy accidents :D
.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.
Also I heard people say that LW blocks VPNs which goes against the idea of a privacy comm
Yeah, that too, i’ll add it.
Thanks for helping me become mod, and running this great instance too :)
