Comment on [Question] What just happened to 4 million posts?
tisktisk@piefed.social 11 months agoIs divide by zero becoming the most based instance? How did a single bro make best lemmy?!?
It’s a pretty cool instance. The governance is transparent with a nuanced voting system, the rules and policies are indeed based, and db0 takes decentralization so seriously that he’s apparently working on safeguarding the instance against his own influence with the governance system and admin recall votes and such.
Thanks db0 et al!
That's the most based thing I've heard all year--where can I learn more about this decentralization endeavor?
That's it--I'm making an account now. This comment sealed the deal
More details in the announcement post: “Adding two new admins and introducing radical recalls”
He instituted a pretty nuanced voting system for the community to decide on instance policies, federation decisions, even a process for instantly recalling admins like himself. He acknowledges that as server owner there is only so much that can be done to limit his power, but he appears to walk the walk. Cool stuff.
Db0 is super into decentralization! Everybody should make their account there!
…wait.
Welcome!
!div0_governance@lemmy.dbzer0.com should be it
Bc he's just that chill, obviously! 😁

I’d say dbzer0 is probably the most leftist, at least from what I’ve seen. I personally don’t go as far as being an anarchist but can appreciate the philosophy. I probably have more in common with anarchy than democratic/plurality governance, if I’m being honest with myself.

Wait… dbzer0 is “divide by zero”?
I’ve been reading it as “dibzer nought”

If I were to pronounce it outloud, I would say:
D. B. Zero.
Like D. B. Cooper, lol.
the… zero, 0 swap is… basically old school l33tsp34k

I thought it stood for database zero.

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of comments coming from that instance that are indistinguishable from the ones I see from .ml.

There are secret tankies. But instance admins do not like tankies.
If they start denying/downplaying Tiananmen Massacre, they will get banned.
dbzer0 is just very anti imperialism of all types, USA, Russia, China, is all bad.
The admin db0 does have a distrust in democracy and the electoral process abd they have a “don’t vote in elections” stance which I have voiced my disagreement with, and I have not been banned.
I’ve citicized USA, Russia, China and not been banned. db0 seems to be sympathetic to Ukraine in the Russo-Ukrainian war.
TLDR: dbzer0 are not tankies

Clarification: Representative/Capitalist democracy. Not all types of democracy.

I haven’t seen a “don’t vote in elections” stance myself but the fact that you can say that and not get banned is a positive.
