For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

Shouldn't that just be mods' responsibly? Banning someone personally abusive?
Which mods? Seems complicated across communities and instances.
Moderation is federated in Lemmy, when I take a look at communities in other instances I never see content from users that were banned over there. There can be cases where a moderator on an instance that isn't federated with mine bans a user on an instance that is (e.g. lemmy.world mod bans lemmy.ml user) and I would still see that user's posts, but in practice this doesn't happen very much and isn't very abusable.
The big problem with the piefed system is that it gives every user a sliver of mod powers when usually moderators are supposed to be vetted; it's also frowned upon for a moderator to get into an argument then take mod actions against the user they were arguing with, but PieFed gives every user the power to partially ban whoever they're talking with.
I crave this herculean demi-mod status.
