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 also blocks VPNs, which goes against the essence of a privacy community.
Why dbzer0
Dbzer0 is stable, relaxed with the rules, and perfect for a topic like this.
For people curious why we chose that instance: https://lemmyverse.link/feddit.org/post/6950586
Not to be confused with !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com :v

Happens to me once in a while when I post
Gotta say I respect you being open about your communities political position.

I feel like I fit around the anarchist end of the spectrum, but …and hear me out, it’s been an eye opener (sorta) seeing the folk on .ml fighting super hard to get everyone to agree that Trump really is the best thing to happen to America since…well… Trump. Tbh, not seen many folk from hexbear lately, pretty sure .ca defedded from them.
Even before them Trumpeting this last little while, I really couldn’t understand how they figured they’d be winning people over to their views with how they behave. Seems counterintuitive to insult people and hope they’ll maybe change their mind the umpteenth time you swear at them and make what honestly seems like often random quotes that only loosely fit the conversation.

I always work with a policy of let folk show their stripes, regardless of where they say they land on whatever spectrum. But after soooooo many bad faith arguments, strawmen and whataboutisms, I’m honestly not too surprised.
And if it’s a majority of members saying that that’s the rule they want, I’m not sure anyone really has a right to say otherwise. It’s not discrimination against anything other than a majority of shit disturbers coming from there.

ultimately it’s our community not mine
Yeaaaaaah, yer alright 👍 looking forward to the new old community!
Thanks for taking the time, appreciate it.
It also blocks VPNs, which goes against the essence of a privacy community.
Did they provide a reason for this practice?
