Hello World!

We've made some changes today, and we'd like to announce that our Code of Conduct is no longer in effect. We now have a new Terms of Service, in effect starting from today(October 19, 2023).

The "LAST REVISION DATE:" on the page also signifies when the page was last edited, and it is updated automatically. Details of specific edits may be viewed by following the "Page History" reference at the bottom of the page. All significant edits will also be announced to our users.

The new Terms of Service can be found at https://legal.lemmy.world/

In this post our community mods and users may express their questions, concerns, requests and issues regarding the Terms of Service, and content moderation in Lemmy.World. We hope to discuss and inform constructively and in good faith.

That is bad logic and no justification.

They're an instance, they can put a rule requiring every comment to include the text "I'm a little teapot".

That doesn't imply it would be a good rule which is what we are disagreeing about. Pointing out they CAN have a rule is irrelevant.

what we are disagreeing about

In a federated system, the relevant part is each instance CAN have different rules. If you don't like one set, or consider it "not good", then go to an instance with a different set, or start your own.
