A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

But you don't have to broadcast anything if you don't want to — maybe with the exception of things like "racism, sexism, queerphobia, transphobia, and bigotry are not welcome", to make sure people who need that kind of safety can see that they can at least expect some basic moderation. 😉
Fair enough. I guess when you said,
I sort of thought to myself, "how do you make a community explicitly non-tankie without making it also a political instance?"
We actually decided against listing inappropriate behaviors and instead distilled it down to just one simple rule: if you couldn't get away with saying it at a bar, you can't say it on our instance. If you went on a public, bigoted rant at a bar, you'd get kicked out (maybe with a warning, probably not). Same applies here.
And a bar doesn't need to post that as a rule; everyone should already know it.
