If you follow these, you'll be fine:

Don't hate on minorities
Don't post AI content outside of communities made for it
Don't insert yourself into communities where you don't belong, eg:

  • Don't comment "As a man, ..." in WomensStuff
  • Don't debate the validity of trans folks on Blahaj
  • Don't criticize China in any way on lemmy.ml

DO NOT post anything negative about Linux (unless you're comparing it to BSD, of course)

Sometimes it's a bit harder not to offend than on reddit, because posts may hit your front page from an instance that was created as a safe space for a group you're not part of, and they may react harshly to you budding in.

You can criticize China, there's just good ways and bad ways of doing that. Overwhelmingly, "critique" just means dogmatically repeating red scare-style nonsense seeing China as an enemy, and not genuine critique.

I was banned for a meme comparing old cars to modern ones, probably because it said the modern cars are full of computers made in China.
