I'd like to know a little more about the instance and/or admin team ethos - I'm guessing from the cyberpunk angle that anti-censorship and free speech is important to you(/us!) but where do you draw the line? Are we likely to find ourselves unfederated away from anything in particular? or is the onus on the user to block what they dont want to see? I guess this question is just as much legal and practical as it is moral or ethical - under which jurisdiction/laws is the server running? Does it have room to grow or are you keen to keep it smaller and more manageable?
I'm stoked to find fellow high-tech low-lives to explore all of this with, and I suspect we'll all have to feel this out as we go along, given the current speed of lemmy growth, but all the above worth an ask even if there's no immediate or easy answers! :)
Oh, the origin of the instance comes from our Mastodon instance https://corteximplant.com which later became other small Fediverse communities like our Pixelfed instance https://cyberpunk.pics and our Misskey instance https://nightcity.bar
The team consists of LGBTQIA+ friendly people, we want to offer a safe community for all who are a little cyberpunky - that can be nerds, geeks, programmers, gamers, creative people, all who swim a little beyond the mainstream.
You can find our team on this page: https://corteximplant.com/about
Maybe we will create a nice page about who is behind all the pages.
Our rules are "actually" quite simple and based on mutual respect and not being an derp-head :D
Hey there @neurocyde@dataterm.digital , it's a very exicitng time and we're sharing this excitement with you! It's so great to find more high-tech low-life people to hang with!
In addition to what Revengeday has said, regarding your question of which jurisdiction, we ask that folks atleast stick within the laws of Germany at the very least. We're an international community though so you might want to be wary of your own local laws too.
We've gotten along with people from other federated communities in the past and in the present, we hope this will continue with the idea of mutual respect in mind! If you see anything that you think is against the rules or bothers you because you think it might be breaking the rules, just send a report over to us.
The biggest unofficial rule is have fun and explore! (And if you find something cool, share it with the rest of us!)

Have to say this community seems to be very even-keeled and mature. Cyberpunk theme is a bonus :) Happy to be here and hopefully make a digital home for myself!
Agreed. That is exactly why I chose to sign-up for this particular community. I am enjoying the cyberpunk aesthetic. After the Reddit debacle I started exploring other options, but wasn't especially drawn to many of the other Lemmy servers, until I came across this one. So far, through the limited exploring I've done, the community seems mature and feels a little like the forums of bygone days. Although I am generally a lurker, I am hoping to make a positive contribution to this server.
Sounds great to me, thank you! (I dont plan on breaking any laws btw, but good to know!)
We're not the police so no worries! Have fun! :D
But what if I begin to suffer the early stages of cyberpsychosis?
I guess then we'll have to get you to a ripperdock ASAP!
