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.

I almost commented this reply from my lemmy.world account, but I decided to switch to be commenting from my midwest.social account - an explicitly leftist server - to back up my assertion that I've not seen any indication that lemmy.world is anti-left with demonstration of the federation between the servers. Idk why the defederation happened, but I'm skeptical of the idea that it was simply the fact of their leftism.

I don't want to speculate on their reasoning, but everything about it seems like it was reactionary to their statements about the IMF, NATO, and the World Bank. Those are pretty milquetoast leftist opinions. I don't think that they're actively trying to be anti-left yet, but signs are there and I want to make sure the leftism community isn't breaking the same rules hexbear did
