News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

For anyone who doesn't know where the modlog is, if you're on PC you can click the green "Modlog" button on the right sidebar, which can be found alongside other community stats like users / day. Warning: Do this at your own risk.
Out of curiosity, what is the line for content that would be censored from there? Being able to go and see the post and poster, in some cases, won’t be enough for moderation.
I don't think there's a line. While you can still see the deleted content in text format there, an user must do so at their own discretion. It's not the mod team's responsibility at that point, as long as there's proper reasons provided for the deletion of said content.
What about a link to CP? Or other illegal or abusive content? Or instructions on how to access content like that, or engage in human trafficking, or plans to commit a terrorist attack?
I think there are some lines that need to be considered both to protect the instance and admins and for the general good.
i mean, plans for terrorist attacks should rather be documentend and reported to the police, and people being informed about those is not really bad, but CP? Yeah, idk, that should be possible to be properly deleted from the site, yeah.
If a user deletes their own account, Lemmy will federate an edit and deletion event to remove the content from other servers' databases. ~~If banning a user had a similar option for purging then that would address this I think.
However if the modlog holds a discrete copy of the removed content then that's an issue if the removed content is illegal~~
Edit: Just noticed another thread confirming Lemmy does have this option 👌
Yea, I’m just tossing shit out the most extreme shit I can think of. If Lemmy is gonna grow, this shit needs to be considered.
it has been. besides the normal "remove" function, there is also a "purge" function which does not record the content in the modlog.
Haha yeah, also this shows up as a "remove content" checkmark while banning an user. In the modlog, for example, there's only one comment by the banned user here, and that's because it was manually deleted. The rest of their content here then received a goodbye from us, along with the user themselves.
