This includes the instance rules of dbzer0, which can be tl;dr'd to: this is a libertarian socialist space, 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 :) )

OFF Topic: How many of you got banned on ml? (thebrainbin.org)

Just looking to seed the place a little a bit with some side bar discussion, maybe get into more feeds to spread the word.

When I joined fedi, privacy on ml seemed like decently robust community but I would posit that endless modding of anti China and Russia sentiment really chocked the air out of it.

Similar thing is happening on .world too

Banned for Rule 4 last week. Haven't used their community in 9 months so my guess is one of the mods parents forgot to microwave their chicken tendies that day and thus decided to take their frustration out on me.

Not happened yet, but I made a comment on an .ml /c just a little while ago that I fully expect to get me at least a /c ban if not a full instance ban 🤣

PS: This should probably be marked [META]

I talked to the moderators of this community and i am now the mod, i will be trying to make this popular again. (i will do a proper reopening of this comm today in a couple of hours)

.ml is insane, they will fling "rule 1" for any reason (KIM dbzer0 is federated with hexbear/lemmygrad, but i will keep tabs on them)

and .world is just too big. Dbzer0 is a sweet spot, and is perfect for this community.

Looking forward to discussions with people who aren't frothing at the mouth 👍

Hey, I did! The moderator also made it a point to remove my comments based not on their content, but on their score (anything below zero was allowed to remain).

That's a sneaky tactic, ive never seen it. Was ban permanent?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Long enough to make me permanently rethink my participation there.

I havn't, but seen enough of their shenanigans to be wary.
