"null" is a private community created specifically for GolfNovemberUniform's posts to keep them in one place and avoid disagreements with communities' admins. It usually includes content about privacy, free and open-source software (FOSS) and operating systems such as Android, Linux and Microsoft Windows.

Nobody except the admins can post in this community, at least for now.

However everyone can comment here so some rules apply:

(Most important) NO DISRESPECT OF DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON ANY TOPIC. This means that you are allowed to disagree but you're not allowed to say (or even think for that matter) that someone's opinion is invalid or wrong. Breaking this rule will result in the most severe punishments.
No discrimination, especially one based on religion or nationality.
No hate speech. If you disagree or even think that someone should be imprisoned, try to say it in a civil and informative way.
No politics. Comments about politics will be deleted, even if the topic is related to the post. Discussion of digital rights and surveillance related politics/laws is allowed to a reasonable extent.
No NSFW.
No advertising. You can recommend a product or even give a link but don't make advertising (spam) comments.
No spam. This is obvious.

If you break the rules, we can warn you or ban you (temporarily or permanently). Severity of the punishment is chosen by admins.

(POLITICAL CONTENT WARNING) My opinion on the Meta's recent decisions (www.wired.com)

As many active internet users already know, Meta is changing (or claiming to be changing) their policies to reduce censorship and allow "not popular" opinions on their platforms.

I personally think it's the best decision a social network has made in the past few years. The majority of the internet being significantly left-leaning caused censorship and hate against those who legally and rightfully support a different position. Unfortnately this also affected big "user-focused" networks such as Mastodon and Lemmy to such an extent many of the instances outright banned such opinions.

This is an extremely severe threat to political freedoms and freedom of expression in places that consider themselves democratic. This is why I fully support the Meta's decision and encourage other social networks and communication platforms to follow Meta in this particular decision.

Also I would like to add that considering civil expression or promotion of an unpopular opinion on topics such as politics, gender and religion "hate speech" is ridiculous for a democracy and inclusivity supporting individual, even if such opinions kind of hurt their beliefs. This has already been a problem in the past and now it's pretty much the same but only the "allowed opinions" have changed.

Give freedom of expression back to everyone!

i'd agree too and i think that's how the internet supposed to be. as long as it's not an action to harm people physically then it's fine
