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.

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

Mullvad has wireguard, and a open source client but the backend code is closed source. Would that be allowed?

Is there anything in privacy guides that wouldn't be allowed?

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

MV Is fine since it's trustworthy. As for PrivacyGuides the only thing that is not allowed is the crypto section.

There is only one crypto recommend, monero. But that is totally open source.

Should there be another community rule to explicitly forbid crypto discussion?

Ex Mullvad accepts crypto payments, that might come up in a discussion as well

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

Its of the instance rules, but I will add an explicit rule forbidding it.

Monero is the best of the worst, but it's still crypto, and damages the environment heavily (it also has the downside of attracting alt right users, so that's a no go)

Mullvad should be fine I hope?
