    Agreed. I am in the process of creating a lemmy instance (mostly for testing), with the core tenets being free speech and freedom of information. I just need to find a way of rewording it so that people don’t think it means endorsement of assholery.

    I think invite-only and “Don’t make me ban you!” as the only rule could work.

      “Don’t make me ban you!” Isn’t a rule.

      A rule would be “don’t say anything I dislike”

        Your comments in this thread sound a lot like you not wanting us to say anything you dislike. I respect your opinions and I would fight for you being allowed to share them. I just think they’re wrong and disingenuous.

          I’m just rephrasing it to frame it as a command. That’s basically what a rule is. A command. A rule has imperativeness.
