!privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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.

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.

    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.

      Yeah, i have absolutely no expectations from hexbear users. In fact, i know they are POS tankies, all of them, but i don’t feed their persecution fetish. As long as they behave, they’ll be strictly tolerated.

      I mean yeah, ultimately it’s our community not mine, so there’s no room for argument there. I do wish dbzer0 was defederated from them though, it would spare me the headache of having to keep an eye on them.
