That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

ZeroNet was doing something similar over a decade ago, the idea of a radical free-speech / censorship-resistant blockchain-mediated forum is nothing new. (In the end it tends to create a space for pedophiles, Nazis, and other such taboo groups who experience the most censorship elsewhere.)
My issue with this is less about a lack of knowledge (I have more crypto and blockchain knowledge than I would like to have), but more about the disappointment in crypto-bro culture and their ideological associations. NFTs, cryptocurrency, and blockchain technologies are all darlings of reactionaries and grifters - it's a toxic culture, and I'm just not interested in anything associated with it.
Nah i'm with you on that one 100% as well. As someone that's been in the crypto space for years now. (More than I would like to admit). Crypto Twitter for example is a cesspit. I find myself enjoying Mirage more so now due to the fact it's not too dominated with Crypto content. Far from it at this stage. Plus there's no algo, it's all opt in/opt out self moderation, which suits me also.
But I hear you on the crypto culture 100%.
oh, that's nice - I remember enjoying aspects of ZeroNet, though it was hard to filter all the junk out; it was also much smaller than Lemmy.
I think you will probably fit in nicely on Lemmy, tbh - anti-Zionism is pretty much the default here (which is why I assume you got kicked from Reddit), and there are a lot of techie people here, too.
Thanks for being nice to me and hearing me out 💕
Legend. Thanks to you!
My pleasure!
