The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Don't get so haughty. Lemmy.world (based on the Netherlands) deletes posts and bans users that mention support for Luigi.
Earlier today I replied to a post on Lemmy.world about this problem, saw my post had many up votes and replied. But I couldn't respond to any of them because the post had been deleted by mods.
.world mods and admins are infamous for being as bad as the ones on reddit, yes.
Reasonable instances should probably have defederated that cesspool long ago, but it's probably too big, sadly.
Drag was banned from c/news for "misinformation and trolling" when drag said Luigi isn't the shooter.

You are currently in a lemmy.world community. So was this post: https://lemmy.world/post/23467383
Lemmy.world has an issue with mods censoring totally legal conversations.
It's a problem going on right now
Why are you still on lemmy.world then? The freedom offered by federation is that you get a choice.
How do I change this account to a different instance?
Also can't the world admins just censor my comments no matter what instance i am a part of if I comment on a lemmy.world post?
There are two sides to the coin, just as you can chose which instances to use, they're free to run their instance how they like, which is how it should be in my opinion. I think it's a bit strong to call it censorship; it's their website, their servers, and if enough people don't like it they can just not post there. This is the same freedom we had with old-style forums, because there was no monopoly in many cases you could select a forum based on if you liked how it was run.
You're right, they have moderation control over lemmy.world posts, but it's still your decision to post there. If you feel that strongly about it you can even chose an instance that doesn't federate with lemmy.world, they exist.
You'll have to sign up for a new account, yes, but is that a big loss? I mean there's no karma here, your existing posts and account won't go away, it'll just not be the main account you log into any more. I personally think it's not a bad idea to have accounts on a few instances, I've moved around through several.

legal
Good thing that you got a worldwide unambiguous concept here!
There's no country where saying "the Healthcare CEO dying was a good thing" is illegal to say
First off: Fuck reddit Fuck spez. Second and more important: All he needs is 1 person to agree. 1, that's it.
And former moderator of r/jailbait, a Reddit community dedicated to posting pictures of underage girls. Don't forget it

Not a great insult to be honest.
Face only a mother could love.
Because spez is scared that someone will come for him.
To set the narrative, of course. Reddit made a big showing last year of putting their own choice mods on communities and is now beholden to Wall Street since the IPO
Same reason they nerfed the algorithm to change from having new posts on the front page every ~15 minutes, to keeping the same posts there all day long.
Costs too much to vet every popular post to make sure it helps support the establishment. Oh well, here's "puppy sees her owner for the first time in 2 months for 48 hours" (part 2!)
