Agreed. I am in the process of creating a lemmy instance (mostly for testing), with the core tenets being free speech and freedom of information. I just need to find a way of rewording it so that people don’t think it means endorsement of assholery.
I think invite-only and “Don’t make me ban you!” as the only rule could work.
Your comments in this thread sound a lot like you not wanting us to say anything you dislike. I respect your opinions and I would fight for you being allowed to share them. I just think they’re wrong and disingenuous.
And at the same time, you rephrase it to imply something that was nowhere in the original sentence.
“Don’t make me ban you” doesn’t necessarily mean “Don’t say anything I don’t like” but maybe just “Don’t post anything illegal” or “Don’t make the experience worse for everyone else”. I fully agree that the original phrasing is too vague which is why I’ve provided a whole list of more specific suggestions.

“Don’t make me ban you!” Isn’t a rule.
A rule would be “don’t say anything I dislike”

I’m just rephrasing it to frame it as a command. That’s basically what a rule is. A command. A rule has imperativeness.

Well it’s strongly implied.
