Okay, yeah now it's all coming together...
I recall a user Stamets had a big beef with ST.W-Risa mods 3 years ago for a debacle that was similar in nature. Moved to tenforward on .world but now I guess Stamets created this new risa as well.
Anyway, there were supposedly "no real rules", but somehow posts were being removed with rules being cited like "not a meme/shitpost". Unfortunately since some posts were deleted, I can't recover every detail, but part of it was the same issue of undocumented rules then not taking it well when called out on it.
You can have a welcoming community without needing to be prescriptive with rules, beehaw does it well, they are far from a "free speech" place but they have their principles documented on why they do this. They will warn you if you are just crossing the line into "jerk" territory, before removing your comment or banning you. They enforce it very strictly and the excessive moderation burden has caused them to defederate from lemmy.world.
