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.

Don’t criticize China in any way on lemmy.ml

Note that actual serious criticism of China is fine. If you want to critise their support of the Khmer Rouge, or their inaction on Palestine, or things like that, no one will mind. It's just when all you're doing is mindlessly reciting vacuous anti-China jingoism that you run into trouble.
