Be nice because you want to be a nice person.

One way I've seen this put is don't be nice, be kind. Nice is performative and 'nice' people can be two faced because they'll be 'nice' to both a bully and the bully's victim.

Being kind is more about empathy. And if you have empathy, you won't tolerate bullies. It's far more genuine and not just a performance for whoever you're currently in the company of.
