Can you expand on that please? It’s a pretty open and shut case.
The current guidelines are in clear contravention of the guidelines of your instance.
Locking the thread with no detail is not an appropriate response to this.

Thanks for the update!

The sidebar of lemmy.world points to this community as the one to raise issues relating to lemmy.world
I think what they mean is the mods of this community aren’t expecting to have to moderate ideological discussions over bigotry, just to handle support requests. Which, well, I contributed to those discussions myself, but I get it.
Can I have breakfast too or nah lol
Thank you for the quick response to this, y’all haven’t let me down with a decision yet
I didn’t want to remove it out of a kneejerk reaction. They had this in their sidebar:
Rule #6: Banned subjects include pro-Nazi and/or pro-racist sentiments; support for conspiracy theories such as Q-Anon, International Jewish Conspiracy, Holocaust denialism, etc.; “is X the mark of the Beast?” drivel; anything calling for direct/indirect violence against any individual or group, including LGBTQ+ individuals or groups; pornography of any kind; gore; spam; asking for money; pro-Mormon and/or pro-Jehovah’s Witness posts.
And then there was rule 8 🙄

I think our views on LGBQT are clearly laid out on https://mastodon.world/about
There is a difference between hosting those communities here and federating with instances who have them.
Unless it turns out to be problematic we won’t defederate.

Lol, let me shoot an arrow to my own knee real quick
I think you made a rushed decision, you are creating a dangerous precedent and you will be bombarded by people being outraged by minor things requesting you to ban communities for no good reason. In this case, if there was a violation it could be resolved with discussion instead of an outright ban.
Read my edit. They can send an appeal to [email protected]
The community was not even active, so there is no one maybe to send an appeal. If you look at the upvote, and downvote ratio of this post, you can see that there is no unanimous opinion on this case, and the decision should be taken more carefully on this one. If you don’t want to push your other users out of the instance.
They have a rule in the sidebar that clearly goes against the instance rules. They can appeal and if they don’t have anyone to do that there is another problem because that goes against the moderation rules on this instance.
You could delete the rule and then put a post in the community asking for someone to step up to moderate.
Thank you for your work
Merci a toi 😊
