The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I don't know if it has any legal value, but here's what I've been doing with online services that really matter (not Reddit, I don't give a shit about Reddit, but things like my bank):
I read the TOS - which, in the case of actual serious online services, tends to be shorter - and I make a note of anything I don't like in it. Then I click agree, then I send an email to info@, support@, legal@, webmaster@ and whatever other vaguely relevant email I can find in the TOS' issuer's domain telling them this:
"I clicked okay because I needed to do XYZ and there was no button to discuss your terms or disagree. But I disagree with the following points. Here are my counter-conditions:
[...]
If you disagree with my conditions, please send me or my lawyer - who is copied on this email - your counter-proposal within 1 (one) week. If you do not sent me or my lawyer an email within 1 (one) week, I shall consider my conditions accepted, legally binding and superseding the relevant sections of your original TOS."
And I copy my lawyer.
I've never gotten any reply, because no actual human reads those email addresses. If anything comes up, I'll pull the counter-email I sent them with my conditions, which they agreed to by not answering. I've never had to use them, but I really wish I'll get the opportunity to test them in court some day, just for shits and giggles.
And yes, I have enough disposable to pay a lawyer to do this kind of shit. I'm a spiteful man when it comes to tech companies, and I'm quite ready to bankrupt myself to fuck them in the ass.
