I don’t know if I’m blind or getting too old or what, but I cannot find the instance rules anywhere. Can someone help me?

ETA: for context, a comment of mine was removed and “rule 2” was cited but the rules in the TOS don’t seem to be relevant.

    They call it a “Terms of Service” but it includes the rules and regulations.

    legal.lemmy.world/tos/

    It’s in the sidebar on the front page.

    EDIT:

    ETA: for context, a comment of mine was removed and “rule 2” was cited but the rules in the TOS don’t seem to be relevant.

    It was listed as a moderator action, and the community it was involved in was shitposting@lemmy.ml. This is actually a lemmy.ml instance, and rules from lemmy.ml and the shiposting community apply. Rules from lemmy.world don’t apply in this case, rules from lemmy.ml do.

    Rule 2 on Lemmy.ml is “Be respectful.”

    Also, the mod is from lemmy.ml, which generally has a lot of people who vibe with hexbear, and that moderators profile literally says “we do a little trolling.” I wouldn’t take it personally or do anything about it. Just move on and accept it.

      Thanks for your input. I received the message that my comment was removed from “automod@lemmy.world”, so that combined with the fact the community’s rule 2 was “no tiktok posts” led me to believe it was a .world action. Your take makes more sense.

        Interesting! I wonder if the automod at lemmy.world is just reporting all moderation actions, regardless of instance origin?

        I don’t think the automod on lemmy.world works the same way as it does on reddit. I think it does more reporting of moderation actions than doing automatic moderation, but I could be wrong.

        Anyway, thanks for your feedback as well. I was aware of how lemmy.world was informing people of moderator actions, and I think it’s really interesting that it is including actions from different instances when they’re interacted with on lemmy.world.

        Our automod does NOT automoderate anything else than blocklisted urls / words. The notification only happens if:

        1. You are on Lemmy.world
        2. The moderator is on Lemmy.world
        3. The community is on Lemmy.world

        We will changing the wording of the text soon enough as this is a common missunderstanding.

      That’s helpful, and part of what I’ve found, but I don’t think that’s what I’m looking for.

      A comment of mine was removed earlier today and “rule 2” was cited, but I don’t see any relation to the rules in the TOS.

        That’s almost certainly the rules for that particular forum.

        https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=599923

        Removed Comment [It came from Hexbear – no surprise it’s misinformation.]

        reason: Rule 2

        !Shitposting@lemmy.ml so this doesn’t involve lemmy.world at all

        And if you look at the sidebar for that community… admittedly it’s a little confusing because there’s two rule twos. But clearly you weren’t being respectful to people from hex Bear with your comment. So you did violate the community rule and you were correctly moderated for it… not being respectful of community members, and not being welcoming to community members

        Rules •1. No Doxxing •2. No TikTok reposts •3. No Harassing •4. Post Gore at your own discretion, Depends if its funny or just gore to be an edgelord.

        Rules

        1. No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
        2. Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.
        3. No porn.
        4. No Ads / Spamming.

    Not sure which comment you’re referring to, but are you sure “rule 2” was referencing the lemmy.world TOS and not the community rules where you posted your comment?

        I guess the rules of the instance you’re posting from always apply, in addition to the rules of the instance you’re posting in. If you’re posting stuff that’s not tolerated by your instance it will probably kick you out, no matter which communities you post in. :)
