MODERATORS
 

==please incorporate the word rule in your post titles==
Here are the things that get you banned:
-saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad or hexbear account
-tankie behaviour
-nazi behaviour
-authoritarian behaviour
-genocide denial
-prejudice of any kind
-anything else that is clearly bad

Things that get your post/comment removed:
-AI generated content
-anything in the banlist
-posts that are so off topic that they don't fit on 196 at all
-moldy memes (old memes, crusty memes, irrelevant memes. The type of things you'd see on your aunt's Facebook page or Elon musk's Twitter account with a laughing emoji as the caption)
-corpoposting

Ban length varies, and is mostly based off of whether or not I think you will change your behavior. I have baned certain people for upwards of 2000 days.

---------EDIT:NSFW RULES---------
NSFW Content is now fully permitted BUT it must be tagged. Any NSFW content that has not been tagged and blurred will be removed. Content warnings should also be added to the title in brackets. Example: [penis] or: [explicit description of sex].
Non-sexualized breasts of any gender are not considered inappropriate and therefore do not need to be blurred/tagged. Yes, even female breasts.

IRL GORE IS NOT PERMITTED UNDER ANY CONDITION.

how tankies are still surprised that fascist apologia gets them banned in an antifascist community is beyond me

[–] darcy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why are they even allowed to federate here

[–] animelivesmatter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, it says in the post, they're allowd to federate but are "on probation"

[–] CorruptBuddha@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably because banning people based purely on political ideology is kind of facist 😝

[–] lasandra@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Reminds me exactly on the wise words of Sir Karl Popper about the 'paradox of tolerance':

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force;"

That's Popper's and Milt.Friedman's way of laundering fascism as a legitimate ideology, a useful tool for capitalist domination and anti-communism.

[–] Pazuzu@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Can you expand on what you were saying here? Are you saying the paradox of tolerance is itself promoting fascist ideology? Can you please explain?

[–] catsup@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why are downvotes disabled in this instance?

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Idk I'm not an admin

[–] Rekticulum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TFW the other leftists wont let you try to subvert the movement into “the people’s fascism”

they are ruining leftist unity

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Nah nah you gotta REDEFINE fascism to be anything that even remotely criticises Russia 😎

[–] SiffaGroove@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What is corpoposting? I am dumb baby

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 months ago

posting memes/general posts that are pro-corp. I.E. mcdonalds sprite hits different, or wendys twitter, or whatever

[–] brokenTower@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why do you have mods who have advanced the claim that Jews deserved the Holocaust because "Communism is just as genocidal as Naziism" and it's really a tit-for-tat?

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Wtf no we don't. I'm the only actual mod and I'm JEWISH like

[–] dsmaster7173@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they did it they kicked the tankies out of 196

[–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago

What is a tankie

[–] PresidentOfKoopistan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are words like 'stupid' and 'crazy' considered slurs here

[–] moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No?? Can't think of any context in which they would be

[–] PresidentOfKoopistan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That's good

I was on Raddle and they treat those words like they're equivalent to the r-slur, so it's good to have a Reddit alternative with at least a shred of sanity

[–] Helix@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

shhhh you can't say r*dditor here
