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 :) )

.ml is infamous for banning pretty much anyone they please. This community, while left libertarian, will allow conflicting viewpoints.

.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.

I will be creating a wiki/guide for this community later on, but i'm currently busy.

May I suggest a rule of “don’t game the system”.

It helps avoid situations where people think they’re clever but also deliberately skirt the rules.

I.e., people make mistakes, and that’s ok. Willful disregard is another beast.

I will do that, i'll add "Don't be a smartass and try to game the system, we'll know if you're breaking the rules when we see it!"
