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

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.

I hope they don’t end up over here. “Power mods” are just the worst.
I got banned from a sub for a relatively tame normal opinion about something or other, like a video game or something. Sent a mod mail asking what happened and what could I do to make it right, got muted and then banned from 10 more subs immediately.
I just nuked my 15 year 750k karma account after giving him a piece of mind to each modmail box. I'll absolutely burn the earth before letting some internet loser feel like he runs my life lol.
I got banned from r/entertainment for criticizing Lizzo's outfit when the whole crystal flute nontroversy happened, nothing racial, nothing about her weight or about the flute-playing itself, just that I thought her outfit she was wearing looked trashy. BANNED. Reddit has been on the decline for awhile now. I just wish I could filter out ANY news of Reddit on other sites, it's kind of annoying how much sites like Lemmy.world still lean on Reddit for content instead of trying to do their own thing.
Oh yeah I hate how many posts are just Reddit links.
Do people not know you still help by visiting?
(they don't, people are dumb 😂)
Yea, I've been going cold turkey since 6/11. I thought the whole point was to NOT GO so that Reddit could see how unpopular its decision was. It kind of feels like people are just not bothering with even trying to protest. I'm sure those that stick around will have a series of annual "that's it, I'm done" moments coming in the future as Reddit makes more and more unpopular decisions and people just put up with it because they couldn't even go a few weeks without visiting the site. I've already made my peace with the fact that Reddit is gone and I'm ready to move on. At this point I'd be more conflicted if they actually backed down on their stupid API policy and let 3rd party apps back on.
I nuked my 15 year 750k karma main for less just to spite some butthurt super mod 😂
I keep my account for local use but I wiped out my post and comment history (and got banned from half my subs for using a script to do so which just makes it easier to not use 😂)
Yup, that sounds like AwkwardTheTurtle.
That's how I lost my original 10+ year Reddit account.
Someone would just start their own lemmy instance if the mods are unreasonable.
How does that solve the issue? If you are banned from a community you won't be able to post or comment to it
You create your own community. If the mods are jerks, you can convince people to switch.
You could create your own community on reddit as well
Reddit will issue sitewide bans for posting about certain topics. The mods of lemmy.world seem to be going down that same path, unfortunately.
Tbh considering you kinda have to be in the know to be here id imagine turtle would be baned by most communitys here but at the same time you'd think someone who is trying run a good subreddit would also know that turtle is a jack ass
I haven't looked at the names of who have re-started up all the most popular communities from reddit, but I would expect to see some familiar usernames....
