Apparently saying [some stuff] is now against the rules too even though they never told us
Lemmy.ml enacts censorship in this manner as well, as too does Midwest.social. But there are so very many other instances that do not, making the former easy to avoid while being able to engage with a ton of content:-).
Your example removed comment is fair, although done by a community mod rather than as the OP article here suggests done without the Reddit sub mods even being able to see the comments prior to removal. Then again, Lemmy.World is rather authoritian on the spectrum. You can always move your account to some other instance that you prefer better btw, like lemmy.dbzer0.com if you want a more anarchist experience or slrpnk.net for communism.
The beauty of Lemmy is not that we are a so-called “free speech platform” - bc we are definitely NOT that! - but rather that we can easily shift over to somewhere else if need be, even spin up our very own instance (that one takes resources, time, and technical knowledge).
For example, I’ve given up on most of the largest communities on Lemmy.world, most of the time, and subscribe rather to smaller versions elsewhere.

.world actively removes Luigi posts. Lemmy.ml does not.
Recent example: https://lemmy.world/comment/15689396
I was talking about censorship in general, but you might be right specifically about Luigi mentions on those instances, I would not know.
There are whole entire communities dedicated to discussion of this effect - e.g. !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works.
