From what I've seen so far, it's just a broad rule they can point to if they want to remove certain content.

Essentially it's their house and we're just renting a room.

Don't really need machine learning, just well built queries. Probably peak at the top pairs of users that comment on the same posts. If the same users are always commenting/voting on each other's posts across every subreddit, it points to manipulation.

Every large company complies with data requests from the government. It is required and the fines for non-compliance are large. The only way around it is not storing anything at all.

Might be a good spot for one of the instance moderators to chime in. Not sure if it's appropriate to tag them in posts like this but it might be a nice spot to provide a clear explanation that others can point to for future examples of this type of removal.

I didn't see anything about misinformation in the CoC but one of them might have felt the community was inflammatory. It'll also be interesting to see if this is one of those things they just don't want on their instance. While we would like impartial instances in general, they are running it for us and Lemmy is likely in a limbo period of trying to establish precedence for what is allowed.

One of the reasons I wanted to follow this post is to hopefully get an even clearer explanation on what is allowed and what to expect going forward from this instance.
