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.

      Yeah, that too, i’ll add it.

      Thanks for helping me become mod, and running this great instance too :)

      LW may block certain VPNs but I can confirm that I am able to access LW from at least one well known VPN provider.

      This may also be due to them using Cloudflare.
