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.
