Rewritten application/golden rules (for simplicity) - Sense check

The vote has closed, thanks for participating everyone!

Hey y'all. I've gotten lots of feedback from some users (mainly r/GenP users) about the application, so i've reformatted/rewritten them to make it clearer.

Do note: Only language that's corrected here is english. Nothing else

Important note: Read the golden rules. and there are THREE (3) questions you must not miss.

Appeal rooms:

https://matrix.to/#/#div0-appeals:matrix.org (Matrix. for everyone)
https://rvlt.gg/xtEPAnXg (Revolt. For r/GenP users specifically)

Any ideas? Corrections? Straight up oppose it? Comment your opinion. Thanks everyone.

This is a non-voting post. Known users should leave comments with your thoughts on the subject.

Two small suggestions:
Move the Golden Rules out of registration application into its own spoiler tag.
For rule 4, amend to: "No posting anything right-wing, tankie, or crypto related, and no discrimination towards marginalized groups (e.g. LGBTQI+)."
Otherwise looks good.
- Move the Golden Rules out of registration application into its own spoiler tag.
  I thought of this, but spoilers don't embed and it would be hard to deal with each language :p

  Will do, thanks.

  Excellent point.

Would've kept one of Stallman/Torvalds/Kropotkin for us oldies :P but apart from that looks great!
I agree with @Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com's second point about rule 4.
- I'll see about adding it ;)

Also I think at this stage we really need to add an instance wide rule that anti-genAI comments on posts containing genAI on this instance will be removed and multiple violations will result in community bans. It's becoming a real problem lately.
- I think we need a whole new topic for this.
  
  Yeah you could be right. I'll post one now, to run alongside these simplification changes.
- I agree to this, it's against the spirit of our instance, and there's plenty of spaces outside db0 for that kind of nonsense.
- I know right? I don't understand why people can't just block/hide communities they don't like. It isn't difficult.

Any chance we could get a IRC channel? Matrix really isn't a good platform imo due to its structure not allowing for effective moderation and the uhh CP spamming gangs that roam it.
Implemented changes seem great though! fully agree with them.

  Not sure.. Maybe i can set up a bridge? I'll see about it (no promises :p)

  Tell me about it. I used to get constantly pinged CP and gore images before i just left all public rooms lol.

  Thanks! I'll implement all the edits now too
