As a mod, what are the rules in regards to leftist/socialist communities and posts? (lemmy.world)

I'm a mod of [email protected], and the last resort preemptive defederation from hexbear has me concerned. As a mod, what are the specific rules that I need to know about to make sure our community fits the guidelines of LemmyWorld? We aren't a huge community and there aren't a huge number of posts every day, but I want to see this community grow and thrive. I can't do that without knowing the guidelines hexbear violated to warrant defederation. We're focused on left unity, so I need to know what we can't allow.

honestly it's probably a minor part of the decision. IMO the admins on world just seem like they wanna have the final say on things and felt threatened by the potential influence of a larger instance. If hexbear were as small as lemmygrad or newer than world, it probably wouldn't have been a big deal for them.

You know what, that actually makes sense. Nothing else about the situation made sense other than "we're anti-communist now", so it was a pretty easy shark to jump. If there isn't a rules update within the next couple weeks, I think this is the most likely reason they went with defederation.
