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

I'm a mod of !leftism@lemmy.world, 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.

from my perspective it very much appears like it's along ideological lines.

I wouldn't say so at all. The admins took action to defederate from the alt-right explodingheads.com instance because the content there broke the servers rules here, and they made a similar judgment with HexBear because of their apparent intention to brigade.

While the decision to defederate from HB was arguably premature, the admins here do at least seem more concerned with protecting their users than they are with deplatforming specific political stances.

From what I recall about the exploding-heads debacle, there was a lot of polls and hand-wringing before defederating. An actual last resort. I spent hours on hexbear last night, it seemed like they mostly shitpost in the comments. Nothing I saw indicated that they were going to brigade or harass people on LW.
