For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

I like how they think it's even a genuine possibility that the admins would edit it to discredit the "real" story, rather than applying occam's razor and realizing it was a troll like they already seemed to think.
Can the admins even do that?
No, it's not possible to edit someone else's post on Lemmy as a platform. We can't even mark a post as NSFW for content warning tags.
The only things we can do to a post that you can't do as a user are to remove it or to purge it, which removes it from the modlog as well.
We generally only purge posts that contain content that we don't want stored on our servers. Usually this is someone's accidentally or foolishly posted personal information, but there have been cases where we've purged illegal/reprehensible content like gore or fictional sexual content depicting minors.
The Lemmy devs were very adamant that they never want that as a thing during their AMA earlier this year, just uninformed users being uninformed and jumping to weird conclusions for some reason
