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.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Complaining about heavy-handed mods? Someone find the deleted post where they said something batshit insane and/or racist!
Look, I am a community moderator here on Lemmy, and I agree with OP. There are a lot of moderators, whether they are on Reddit, Lemmy, or anywhere else, that should simply not be moderators.
I moderate the cars community (not the disney movie, like the main automotive community) on my home instance. Just me and one other moderator, its a pretty low traffic community. There was a third moderator who was dormant. Suddenly, that dormant account becomes active, reposts what the other active moderator had posted, then deleted the other moderators posts as "duplicates." They then proceeded to remove both me and the other moderator so that they were the only community moderator. I don't really mind; being a moderator isn't really something I want and my home instance admins had to ask me like, 4 times to be a moderator for that community. Anyway, I messaged the admins saying like, "hey, this other account suddenly became active after like a year of inactivity and while what they are posting isn't against the rules or anything, I don't know if this was from you guys or if you guys know about it." Needless to say, the admins took some actions including removing that moderator and reinstating me and the other moderator.
slow clap
Thank you, I'll be here all week, folks.
