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.

This is literally why I joined Lemmy :) I got banned, not for advocating violence or racism but for calling out a mod for removing posts that were not breaching any rules.
Initially it was a 3 day ban, I appealed it and they turned into a permanent one lmao.
I am a moderator somewhere (not reddit)
It's easy to just ban people, but not actually helpful
I always wait until the hate speech comes out. Offensive speech is one thing, but the population of the forum lets them know in their responses that they are out of line
The ban doesn't happen if my ego is insulted, it's saved for the pointless troll (and even then, only if it keeps going after being warned) or when something is truly hateful
Yeah, bans for hate speech etc. are perfectly understandable but being banned for stepping on someone's toes is pathetic.
It's also the fact you can't really appeal it that irks me, they just say they looked at it and will uphold the ban without further comment.
from what ive found out, any type of temp ban was going to result in a permaban on all accounts. and this is one thing reddit dint address to
