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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

My Reddit accounts usually got banned for one dumb reason or another anyhow. I'll never forget my first and longest account getting the insta axe for saying everyone should punch Nazis.
My first ban was telling people to remember to get their butts checked for cancer on a post announcing the death of someone (who died from colon cancer).
We know Redditors don't read articles, and I was trying to be helpful because that's how people like Total biscuit died.
Was perma-banned for "harassment and bullying".
I got an account suspended, not banned, full site-wide suspension by the admins literally for saying I didn't like a comic. No profanity, no racism, no trolling, it was a parent level comment so not snapping back at anyone. It said something along along the lines of (paraphrasing as I don't remember the exact words) "Has anyone noticed that webcomics are never funny?" That;'s it. Site-wide account suspension .
I got a sitewide suspension for "report abuse" for reporting disinformation in a post on r/conservative. Reddit supports fascist propaganda.

But they only ever mind it when it's aginst right wingers
I lost mine just before the app shutdown for calling a right wing troll a loser. They said I repeatedly violated rules and perma banned me. All I can figure is I got bombed with reports or the admin handling my appeal is one of them
Oh well. Now I'm here
It's so random, too. One admin/mod might give you a warning (I'm just kidding, warnings are never given, it's always the harshest punishment) for one thing and another might IP ban you for the same or even a less egregious thing.
I mean.. You were literally advocating for violence.
