Each server on the Fediverse is totally independent, and sets its own rules for acceptable behaviour. You can find out more in the guide at:
Usually server owners decide rules because they pay the server's costs and (in some places) may be legally responsible for its content. However, some admins decide rules jointly with their members, and some are run as full co-ops.
Whatever system is used, there is no central authority imposing rules on servers from the outside.

@FediTips I think it is worth saying that, for a server to participate effectively across the fediverse and not be “shunned” by its peers, it has to abide generally by the social norms often seen on other servers.
It’s not a requirement, but it does help. -

If a server is really badly moderated, it tends to get more and more isolated as other servers defederate it.
