Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
founded 1 year ago
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.

JAN 2024 UPDATE: MOLDY MONDAYS
Monday is now moldy Monday. on this day and only this day moldy memes are not only allowed, but encouraged. The crustier the better. The type of thing that's been reposted at least 2,000 times with filters and bad crops and watermarks and hopefully minions. please caption with moldy rule
If you have any issues, please reach us at 196mods@protonmail.com. PLEASE do not dm me, as I am not consistently available and tend to step away from the mantle for weeks to months at a time.
Hey @moss@lemmy.blahaj.zone - thanks for these!
Make sense to add a link to this post to the sidebar?

For 196’s community rules, see this stickied post
Will I get banned if I leave without posting?
maybe consider (temporarily? permanently?) hiding vote-count on posts, to make it seem less dead in here. it doesn't matter how many votes a post has; it just matters whether it's higher or lower than others. for functional reasons, at least.
or we could just all stop caring about the vote count instead! why even pay attention to that? I'd honestly rather have two good comments on a post than 300 upvotes, or view counts, or whatever. couldn't care less about any of those.
Because of the Reddit migration, 196 is coming up in my Lemmy feed a lot, I have no idea what it is (because you haven't made a description).
This could be your chance to gain more community members if you update your description
Well sort of the point of 196 is that you can post almost anything, the only rule is that you have to post each time before leaving. This rule isn't enforced for obvious reasons, unlike the ban against tankies.
before leaving as in before switching to another community while browsing? or as in when you unsubscribe? and what if I never leave
I've got a slight suggested edit
Basically the first item to get banned adding Hexbear to the list with Lemmygrad
I've been seeing a huge influx of tankie takes from hexbear accounts all over (and here) since they federated

Sorry, I'm new here - "saying anything remotely iffy with a lemmygrad account" - what does this mean? TIA

Are words like 'stupid' and 'crazy' considered slurs here
No?? Can't think of any context in which they would be
There are some communities that consider them to be slurs against neurodivergent people. There's definitely an argument to be made there but at the same time they're so commonly used to refer to neurotypical people as well that it's also easy to argue that they don't do enough harm to be considered slurs.
bruh idiot hasn't been a slur since the 1800s what are those mods from fucking bloodborne or smth
Methinks perchance they've been imbibing the 40-rod.
????
Translation: "I believe they may have been drinking heavily."
Ah. No, actually. I don't drink.
well you could follow the rule "if it's reported or someone comments that they're offended by a slur like retard, remove it". Or would that be too little moderation in your opinion?
punk-ass bitch? sexy fuccboi? plant? bratwurst? nword when used by a PoC? Any of those?
